The API is very simple to use and similar to the _java.util.zip_ package and also __supports UStar format__. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kamranzafar/jtar.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kamranzafar/jtar) ## Usage JTar is available in maven central and can be added as a dependency in the maven project.

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.kamranzafar</groupId>
    <artifactId>jtar</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
  </dependency>

Below are some examples of using jtar in applications ### Tar example - using TarOutputStream

  // Output file stream
  FileOutputStream dest = new FileOutputStream( "c:/test/test.tar" );
  
  // Create a TarOutputStream
  TarOutputStream out = new TarOutputStream( new BufferedOutputStream( dest ) );
  
  // Files to tar
  File[] filesToTar=new File[2];
  filesToTar[0]=new File("c:/test/myfile1.txt");
  filesToTar[1]=new File("c:/test/myfile2.txt");
  
  for(File f:filesToTar){
     out.putNextEntry(new TarEntry(f, f.getName()));
     BufferedInputStream origin = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream( f ));
     int count;
     byte data[] = new byte[2048];
  
     while((count = origin.read(data)) != -1) {
        out.write(data, 0, count);
     }
  
     out.flush();
     origin.close();
  }
  
  out.close();

### Untar example - using TarInputStream

  String tarFile = "c:/test/test.tar";
  String destFolder = "c:/test/myfiles";
  
  // Create a TarInputStream
  TarInputStream tis = new TarInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(tarFile)));
  TarEntry entry;
  
  while((entry = tis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
     int count;
     byte data[] = new byte[2048];
     FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destFolder + "/" + entry.getName());
     BufferedOutputStream dest = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
  
     while((count = tis.read(data)) != -1) {
        dest.write(data, 0, count);
     }
  
     dest.flush();
     dest.close();
  }
  
  tis.close();
