NAME

       th_get_pathname,    th_get_uid,    th_get_gid,   th_get_mode,   th_get_crc,   th_get_size,
       th_get_mtime,  th_get_devmajor,  th_get_devminor,  th_get_linkname  -  extract  individual
       fields of a tar header

       TH_ISREG,  TH_ISLNK,  TH_ISSYM,  TH_ISCHR,  TH_ISBLK, TH_ISDIR, TH_ISFIFO - determine what
       kind of file a tar header refers to

       TH_ISLONGNAME, TH_ISLONGLINK - determine whether the GNU extensions are in use

VERSION

       This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

DESCRIPTION

       The th_get_*() functions extract individual fields from the current tar header  associated
       with the TAR handle t.

       The  TH_IS*()  macros  are used to evaluate what kind of file is pointed to by the current
       tar header associated with the TAR handle t.

       The TH_ISLONGNAME() and TH_ISLONGLINK() macros evaluate whether or not the GNU  extensions
       are  used  by  the  current  tar  header  associated  with the TAR handle t.  This is only
       relevant if the TAR_GNU option was used when tar_open() was called.
