Public Function New( _

'Usage
 
Dim tarFile As AbstractFile
 
Dim instance As New TarArchive(tarFile)

public TarArchive( 
   AbstractFile tarFile
)

Parameters

tarFile

An Xceed.FileSystem.AbstractFile object that represents the TAR file to access. For example, to access/create a TAR file in memory use a Xceed.FileSystem.MemoryFile. If the TAR file is on disk, then use a Xceed.FileSystem.DiskFile, and so on.

It is important to always use the same instance of the AbstractFile representing the actual TAR file when creating new instances of either TarArchive, TarredFile or TarredFolder otherwise, when updating the TAR file through different instances, information can be lost. Instances obtained from calls to GetFile, GetFiles (and all) are safe, and share the same original AbstractFile.

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.
