I am trying to write a pure C++ tar file manipulation library. Can one simply put the tar headers followed by the data, with nothing special in between, I have looked through Wikipedia, and the gnu site and have come up with everything I need except for a few things, including this. I am trying to use the (new?) ustar format.
The BSD tar(5) manual page could be considered authoritative.
