Overview

========

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extend the upstream golang stdlib `archive/tar` library, to expose the raw
|
|
|
|
|
bytes of the TAR, rather than just the marshalled headers and file stream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal being that by preserving the raw bytes of each header, padding bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
and the raw file payload, one could reassemble the original archive.

Caveat
|
2015-02-20 18:47:57 +00:00
|
|
|
------
|
2015-02-20 15:29:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually this should detect TARs that this is not possible with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example stored sparse files that have "holes" in them, will be read as a
|
|
|
|
|
contiguous file, though the archive contents may be recorded in sparse format.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore when adding the file payload to a reassembled tar, to achieve
|
|
|
|
|
identical output, the file payload would need be precisely re-sparsified. This
|
|
|
|
|
is not something I seek to fix imediately, but would rather have an alert that
|
|
|
|
|
precise reassembly is not possible.

Example
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First we'll get an archive to work with. For repeatability, we'll make an
|
|
|
|
|
archive from what you've just cloned:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
git archive --format=tar -o tar-split.tar HEAD .
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then build the example main.go:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
go build ./main.go
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now run the example over the archive:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./main tar-split.tar
|
|
|
|
|
