libarchive


Utility and C library to create and read several streaming archive formats


Productivity/Archiving/Compression

Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar variants and several cpio formats. It can also write shar archives and read ISO-9660 CDROM images. The bsdtar program is an implementation of tar(1) that is built on top of libarchive. It started as a test harness, but has grown and is now the standard system tar for FreeBSD 5 and 6.

This package contains the bsdtar cmdline utility.
