       char *th_get_linkname(TAR *t);

       char *th_get_pathname(TAR *t);

       mode_t th_get_mode(TAR *t);

       int TH_ISLONGLINK(TAR *t);

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.
