* Package name : tarix Version : 1.0.7 Upstream Author : Matthew "Cheetah" Gabeler-Lee * URL : https://github.com/fastcat/tarix; http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtar/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Indexing utility for tar archives tarix is a program for indexing tar archives so that selective extraction can be done rapidly, especially on slow devices like tape drives, providing that you can seek to arbitrary locations (at least on 512 byte boundaries) within the tar archive. . Tarix is designed to work as a compression filter for tar with the --use-compress-program option. Tarix can either pass the tar archive straight through, or it can compress the archive using zlib on the way through. Note that tarix does special things when using zlib to enable random access when extracting. . Tarix's index file format is geared for simplicity and ease of use in a recovery situation. For those reasons, it is a simple text format. Using tarix's indexes requires only grep, sed, dd, and tar for basic usage. tarix itself can use the index for fast extraction without convoluted usage of grep, sed, and dd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
