# The archivers/libarchive port

## libarchive-3.6.2p0 – multi-format archive and compression library

## Description

    Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several different
    streaming archive formats, including most popular tar variants, several cpio
    formats, and both BSD and GNU ar variants. It can also write shar archives and
    read ISO9660 CDROM images and ZIP archives.

    bsdtar is an almost fully GNU tar-compatible frontend for libarchive.
    It is one of the fastest tar implementations and supports many advanced
    features not found elsewhere.
