Modified files: lib/libarchive Makefile archive.h.in libarchive-formats.5 Added files: lib/libarchive archive_read_support_format_tp.c Log: Add support for "tp" format. tp was the standard system archiver for Fourth Edition through Sixth Edition Unix; it was replaced by tar in Seventh Edition. (First Edition through Third Edition used "tap.") Unfortunately, tp was not so very standard; there were a few different variants. The code here attempts to support what I believe were the most common variants. tp support is not yet enabled by archive_read_support_format_all(), as I'm not yet entirely comfortable with the detection heuristics. People interested in experimenting can add archive_read_support_format_tp() just after any calls to archive_read_support_format_all() in bsdtar to see how well this works. TODO: tp format is roughly similar in structure to dump/restore archive formats used by many systems. It should be possible to generalize this code to handle many dump/restore variants. Format detection heuristics are going to be rough, though. Thanks to: Warren Toomey, whose very basic tp extraction programs and documentation made this possible.
