    Remarks

    A call to BeginUpdate must be accompanied by a subsequent call to EndUpdate, or desynchronization can occur. One way of making sure that both calls stay synchronized is to use a finally  block:

    try
    {
      i.BeginUpdate();
      // Do some modifications to the tar file
    }
    finally
    {
      i.EndUpdate();
    }

     

    In C#, the preferred way is to use the Xceed.FileSystem.AutoBatchUpdate class within a using statement.

    This implementation of Tar is fully read/write compatible with the USTAR format. It is read compatible with GNU Tar archives whose entries do not use the header extensions of this format.
