The libarchive library contains routines for creating, reading from, and
|
|
writing to different streaming archive formats, e.g. most popular tar
|
|
and cpio formats. Additionally, libarchive supports writing to shar archives
|
|
and reading from ISO-9660 (CD-ROM) images.
|
|
|
|
This package contains bsdtar, a high-efficiency libarchive front-end which
|
|
is [almost] wholly compatible with the ubiquitous GNU tar. It supports
|
|
advanced features many other implementations do not.
|
|
|
|
For your convenience, the installed bsdtar binary will not be linked
|
|
to any pkgsrc-provided libraries.
