tar_block_read, tar_block_write - macros to call read and write functions for the correct tar archive type

#include <libtar.h>

int tar_block_read(TAR **/t/, char */buf/);*

int tar_block_write(TAR **/t/, char */buf/);*

This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

The *tar_block_read*() and *tar_block_write*() macros call the read and write functions for the tar archive type associated with the TAR handle t. This type is set when the TAR handle is created using *tar_open*().

These macros return the same values as the corresponding read and write functions.

*read*(2), *write*(2), *tar_open*(3)
