[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vbatts/tar-split.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/vbatts/tar-split)
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.
Pristinely disassembling a tar archive, and stashing needed raw bytes and offsets to reassemble a validating original archive.

## What's Next?
* More implementations of storage Packer and Unpacker
- could be a redis or mongo backend
* More implementations of FileGetter and FilePutter
- could be a redis or mongo backend
* cli tooling to assemble/disassemble a provided tar archive
* would be interesting to have an assembler stream that implements `io.Seeker`
