# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| haskell-tar: haskell-tar (Reading, writing and manipulating ".tar" archive files) haskell-tar: haskell-tar: This library is for working with ".tar" archive files. It can read haskell-tar: and write a range of common variations of archive format including haskell-tar: V7, USTAR, POSIX and GNU formats. It provides support for packing haskell-tar: and unpacking portable archives. This makes it suitable for haskell-tar: distribution but not backup because details like file ownership and haskell-tar: exact permissions are not preserved. haskell-tar: haskell-tar: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tar haskell-tar:
