// Format represents the tar archive format.
//
// The original tar format was introduced in Unix V7.
// Since then, there have been multiple competing formats attempting to
// standardize or extend the V7 format to overcome its limitations.
// The most common formats are the USTAR, PAX, and GNU formats,
// each with their own advantages and limitations.
//
// The following table captures the capabilities of each format:
//
//	                  |  USTAR |       PAX |       GNU
//	------------------+--------+-----------+----------
//	Name              |   256B | unlimited | unlimited
//	Linkname          |   100B | unlimited | unlimited
//	Size              | uint33 | unlimited |    uint89
//	Mode              | uint21 |    uint21 |    uint57
//	Uid/Gid           | uint21 | unlimited |    uint57
//	Uname/Gname       |    32B | unlimited |       32B
//	ModTime           | uint33 | unlimited |     int89
//	AccessTime        |    n/a | unlimited |     int89
//	ChangeTime        |    n/a | unlimited |     int89
//	Devmajor/Devminor | uint21 |    uint21 |    uint57
//	------------------+--------+-----------+----------
//	string encoding   |  ASCII |     UTF-8 |    binary
//	sub-second times  |     no |       yes |        no
//	sparse files      |     no |       yes |       yes
//
// The table's upper portion shows the Header fields, where each format reports
// the maximum number of bytes allowed for each string field and
// the integer type used to store each numeric field
// (where timestamps are stored as the number of seconds since the Unix epoch).
//
// The table's lower portion shows specialized features of each format,
// such as supported string encodings, support for sub-second timestamps,
// or support for sparse files.
//
// The Writer currently provides no support for sparse files.

	// FormatUSTAR represents the USTAR header format defined in POSIX.1-1988.
	//
	// While this format is compatible with most tar readers,
	// the format has several limitations making it unsuitable for some usages.
	// Most notably, it cannot support sparse files, files larger than 8GiB,
	// filenames larger than 256 characters, and non-ASCII filenames.
	//
	// Reference:
	//	http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/pax.html#tag_20_92_13_06
	FormatUSTAR

	// FormatPAX represents the PAX header format defined in POSIX.1-2001.
	//
	// PAX extends USTAR by writing a special file with Typeflag TypeXHeader
	// preceding the original header. This file contains a set of key-value
	// records, which are used to overcome USTAR's shortcomings, in addition to
	// providing the ability to have sub-second resolution for timestamps.
	//
	// Some newer formats add their own extensions to PAX by defining their
	// own keys and assigning certain semantic meaning to the associated values.
	// For example, sparse file support in PAX is implemented using keys
	// defined by the GNU manual (e.g., "GNU.sparse.map").
	//
	// Reference:
	//	http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/pax.html
	FormatPAX

	// FormatGNU represents the GNU header format.
	//
	// The GNU header format is older than the USTAR and PAX standards and
	// is not compatible with them. The GNU format supports
	// arbitrary file sizes, filenames of arbitrary encoding and length,
	// sparse files, and other features.
	//
	// It is recommended that PAX be chosen over GNU unless the target
	// application can only parse GNU formatted archives.
