/*
 * This is a compact tar extraction program using libarchive whose
 * primary goal is small executable size.  Statically linked, it can
 * be very small, depending in large part on how cleanly factored your
 * system libraries are.  Note that this uses the standard libarchive,
 * without any special recompilation.  The only functional concession
 * is that this program uses the uid/gid from the archive instead of
 * doing uname/gname lookups.  (Add a call to
 * archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup() to enable uname/gname
 * lookups, but be aware that this can add 500k or more to a static
 * executable, depending on the system libraries, since user/group
 * lookups frequently pull in password, YP/LDAP, networking, and DNS
 * resolver libraries.)
 *
 * To build:
 * $ gcc -static -Wall -o untar untar.c -larchive
 * $ strip untar
 *
 * NOTE: On some systems, you may need to add additional flags
 * to ensure that untar.c is compiled the same way as libarchive
 * was compiled.  In particular, Linux users will probably
 * have to add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to the command line above.
 *
 * For fun, statically compile the following simple hello.c program
 * using the same flags as for untar and compare the size:
 *
 * #include <stdio.h>
 * int main(int argc, char **argv) {
 *    printf("hello, world\n");
 *    return(0);
 * }
 *
 * You may be even more surprised by the compiled size of true.c listed here:
 *
 * int main(int argc, char **argv) {
 *    return (0);
 * }
 *
 * On a slightly customized FreeBSD 5 system that I used around
 * 2005, hello above compiled to 89k compared to untar of 69k.  So at
 * that time, libarchive's tar reader and extract-to-disk routines
 * compiled to less code than printf().
 *
 * On my FreeBSD development system today (August, 2009):
 *  hello: 195024 bytes
 *  true: 194912 bytes
 *  untar: 259924 bytes
