lua tar
Original tar.lua comes from luarocks project, see here. It only support tar extraction (with standard blocksize) and direct write to the file system.
Goal
Support listing and extraction for .tar.gz file... Support fast access (read/seek/...) inside the archive by using a catalog almost like the zip one.
TODO

- tar listing over a stream
- tar listing over a stream of io/file handler (to support uncompressing on the fly)
- tar extraction on filesystem using abstraction module (support more than the luarocks fs module)
- simple tar creation
- ...
