SYNOPSIS

       #include <libtar.h>

       void th_set_from_stat(TAR *t, struct stat *s);

       void th_set_type(TAR *t, mode_t mode);

       void th_set_path(TAR *t, char *pathname);

       void th_set_link(TAR *t, char *linkname);

       void th_set_device(TAR *t, dev_t device);

       void th_set_user(TAR *t, uid_t uid);

       void th_set_group(TAR *t, gid_t gid);

       void th_set_mode(TAR *t, mode_t mode);

       void th_set_mtime(TAR *t, time_t fmtime);

       void th_set_size(TAR *t, off_t fsize);

       void th_finish(TAR *t);

VERSION

       This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

DESCRIPTION

       The th_set_*() functions each set an individual field of the current tar header associated with  the  TAR
       handle  t.   The th_set_user() and th_set_group() functions set both the numeric user/group ID fields and
       the user/group name text fields.  The other functions set only the field that they refer to.

       The th_set_from_stat() function uses the other th_set_*() functions to set all of  the  fields  at  once,
       based on the data passed to it in the argument s.

       The  th_finish()  function  sets  the  appropriate  constants  for the magic and version fields.  It then
       calculates the header checksum and fills in the checksum field.
