// Format represents the tar archive format.

// The original tar format was introduced in Unix V7.

// 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.

// 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.
//

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.
