Description
The libarchive library contains routines for creating, reading from, and writing to different streaming archive formats, e.g. most popular tar and cpio formats. Additionally, libarchive supports writing to shar archives and reading from ISO-9660 (CD-ROM) images.
This package contains bsdtar, a high-efficiency libarchive front-end which is [almost] wholly compatible with the ubiquitous GNU tar. It supports advanced features many other implementations do not.
For your convenience, the installed bsdtar binary will not be linked to any pkgsrc-provided libraries.
Install

pkgin install bsdtar
