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.

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is rather easy to explain, but I don't know if it's possible.
The main idea is that I have directories which I want to add to a TAR file, but for some of them I don't want to include the files in the directory. I just want to add the path to the TAR file as if the... (5 Replies)
