DESCRIPTION

39       The  th_set_*()  functions  each set an individual field of the current
40       tar header associated with the TAR handle  t.   The  th_set_user()  and
41       th_set_group()  functions set both the numeric user/group ID fields and
42       the user/group name text fields.  The  other  functions  set  only  the
43       field that they refer to.
44
45       The  th_set_from_stat() function uses the other th_set_*() functions to
46       set all of the fields at once, based on the data passed to  it  in  the
47       argument s.
48
49       The  th_finish()  function sets the appropriate constants for the magic
50       and version fields.  It then calculates the header checksum  and  fills
51       in the checksum field.
