Read and write tar files with Ruby.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem "tar"

```

And then execute:

```console

$ bundle

```

Or install it yourself as:

```console

$ gem install tar

```

## Usage

### Reading tar files

Tar files can be read from IO streams, for example `File`s or `Zlib::GzipReader`s, using a `Tar::Reader`.

For example, to print the contents of the archive to stdout:

```ruby

require "tar/reader"

File.open "example.tar" do |archive|

  Tar::Reader.new(archive).each do |file|

    puts "==> #{file.header.path} (#{file.header.size} bytes)"

    puts file.read

  end

end

```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies.

Then, run `bin/rake` to run the tests.

You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bin/rake install`.

To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bin/rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
