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.
