untar.c   [plain text]

/*
 * "untar" is an extremely simple tar extractor:
 *  * A single C source file, so it should be easy to compile
 *    and run on any system with a C compiler.
 *  * Extremely portable standard C.  The only non-ANSI function
 *    used is mkdir().
 *  * Reads basic ustar tar archives.
 *  * Does not require libarchive or any other special library.
 *
 * To compile: cc -o untar untar.c
 *
 * Usage:  untar <archive>
 *
 * In particular, this program should be sufficient to extract the
 * distribution for libarchive, allowing people to bootstrap
 * libarchive on systems that do not already have a tar program.
 *
 * To unpack libarchive-x.y.z.tar.gz:
 *    * gunzip libarchive-x.y.z.tar.gz
 *    * untar libarchive-x.y.z.tar
 *
 * Written by Tim Kientzle, March 2009.
 *
 * Released into the public domain.
