Crate tokio_tar

A library for reading and writing TAR archives in an async fashion.

This library provides utilities necessary to manage TAR archives abstracted over a reader or writer. Great strides are taken to ensure that an archive is never required to be fully resident in memory, and all objects provide largely a streaming interface to read bytes from.
