An interesting trick is that bsdtar can read ISO files without
needing to mount them - I wonder if a cross-reference is
appropriate.
Even bsdtar itself doesn't document this explicitly, at least in 6.2.
It points to libarchive(5) for the complete list of supported formats.
Excellent point. Perhaps we should modify the first
paragraph of bsdtar.1 to read:
DESCRIPTION
tar creates and manipulates streaming archive files.
This implementation can extract from tar, pax, cpio,
zip, jar, ar, and ISO 9660 CD-ROM images and can create
tar, pax, cpio, ar, and shar archives.
Maybe add an example as well:
To examine the contents of an ISO 9660 CD-ROM image:
tar -tf image.iso
Thoughts?
