TarWriter

class TarWriter

Writes a POSIX ustar archive, readable by any standard tar tool.

Entries are regular files, added one at a time. Names longer than 100 characters are split over the ustar prefix and name fields; names that do not fit even then are rejected. The archive is finished by close or the destructor.

void add(const std::string &name, const char *data, std::size_t size)

void close()
