tar_block_read (3)

#include <libtar.h>

int tar_block_read(TAR *t, char *buf);

int tar_block_write(TAR *t, char *buf);

This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

The tar_block_read() and tar_block_write() macros call the read and write functions for the tar archive type associated with the TAR handle t. This type is set when the TAR handle is created using tar_open().

These macros return the same values as the corresponding read and write functions.
