astral-tokio-tar

A tokio-based tar archive reader and writer.

Provenance

This crate is a fork of edera-dev/tokio-tar, which was a fork of vorot93/tokio-tar, which was a fork of dignifiedquire/async-tar, which is based on alexcrichton/tar-rs.

As compared to the async tar crates, this crate includes a variety of performance improvements and missing patches from alexcrichton/tar-rs.

As compared to alexcrichton/tar-rs, this crate features the following modifications:

• Setting preserve_permissions to false will avoid setting any permissions on extracted files. In alexcrichton/tar-rs, setting preserve_permissions to false will still set read, write, and execute permissions on extracted files, but will avoid setting extended permissions (e.g., setuid, setgid, and sticky bits).
• Setting allow_external_symlinks to false will avoid extracting symlinks that point outside the unpack target. Operations that write outside the unpack directory are always denied; but by default, symlinks that read outside the unpack directory are allowed.

See the changelog for a more detailed list of changes.
