I modified the library to make it fit for my use and I thought I share it here.
The
name
andlinkname
fields in themtar_header_t
struct are both 100 bytes long as mandated by the tar format. The tar format does allow longer names but this seems not supported by this library. Filename size is not checked by the library resulting in corrupted archives if a longer name is specified. I changed the behaviour to printing an error message and callingabort()
if a name longer than 100 characters (including null terminator) is specified.While I was at it I also changed all other string functions that are considered unsafe to their safe alternatives.
