This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

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.
