Debkit.Tar.Entry (Debkit v0.2.0)

A single tar entry: a regular file or a directory.

The same struct is produced by Debkit.Tar.read/1 and accepted by Debkit.Tar.write/1, so an archive round-trips through it. Build entries with the Debkit.Tar.file/3 and Debkit.Tar.dir/2 constructors, or directly:

%Debkit.Tar.Entry{name: "./control", contents: "Package: hello\n"}

Fields

:name — the entry path, stored verbatim (keep a leading ./ and, for a directory, the trailing /). Required.
:contents — the file body; always "" for a directory.
:mode — the permission bits. nil means "default for the type" — 0o644 for a file, 0o755 for a directory — resolved by Debkit.Tar.write/1.
:type — :file or :dir.
