Indexed tar creator/extractor

Usage

itar -t [-i INDEXFILE] TARFILE

itar -c [-i INDEXFILE] TARFILE FILES

itar [-i INDEXFILE] [{-k KEY | -o OFFSET}] TARFILE FILES ...

Overview

itar is an indexed TAR creator/extractor. If used without -t nor -c options, FILES are extracted from TARFILE. You can seek by a KEY or by an OFFSET, elsewhere each file itself is seeked. Manual seeking (with -k or -o) is just for debugging

Options

TARFILE

specify the .tar.bz2 tarball.

-t

list member files of TARFILE.

-c

create TARFILE, adding FILES to it.

-i INDEXFILE

specify the index file. If this option is not used, TARFILE.i is assumed.

-k KEY

specify KEY.

-o OFFSET

specify OFFSET.
