Entry

Metadata and streaming content for the current TAR entry.

The handle remains valid only until its parent Reader advances or leaves scope. Iterating an entry yields arbitrary-sized Bin chunks until the content is exhausted.

Example

for chunk = entry
  output.put $chunk

Inherits from: Iter[Bin]

Fields

device_major

Device major number, or nil when absent.

device_minor

Device minor number, or nil when absent.

gid

Numeric group ID.

group_name

Group name, or nil when absent.

link_name

Link target as an fs.unix.Path, or nil when absent.

Entry type as :FILE:, :DIR:, :HARDLINK:, :SYMLINK:, :FIFO:, :CHAR_DEVICE:, :BLOCK_DEVICE:, :CONTIGUOUS:, or :UNKNOWN:.

uid

Numeric owner ID.

Methods

(next)()

Yields the next content chunk, ending iteration once the entry is exhausted.

read size -> Bin

Reads up to size bytes from the current content position.

Parameters
