# ustar.h
|
|
|
|
Specific driver for USTAR.
|
|
|
|
**Warning:** This is a filesystem specific driver, by this it should only be accessed by the VFS.
|
|
|
|
The USTAR '_filesystem_' is probably more common known as **tar**-archive.
|
|
It is a really simple concept, where a file consists of a header block followed by data blocks.
|
|
These blocks are aligned at 512 bytes.
