Yaroslav Trymbach created COMPRESS-398:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Uncorrect string terminal symbol in entry when creating
Tar archive using TarArchiveOutputStream
Key: COMPRESS-398
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-398
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archivers
Affects Versions: 1.14
Reporter: Yaroslav Trymbach
Priority: Minor
I create Tar archive using TarArchiveOutputStream. And I've got one
contradiction in output achive file with Tar-file format specification.
https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Standard.html#SEC186
Specification has next sentention for entry header fields:
"The name, linkname, magic, uname, and gname are null-terminated character
strings. All other fields are zero-filled octal numbers in ASCII. Each numeric
field of width w contains w minus 1 digits, and a null."
But in file generated TarArchiveOutputStream octal numbers fields (mode, size,
checksum etc) has terminated character not NULL (0x00) but SPACE (0x20), so
some programs have problems while work with this files.
