void th_finish(TAR *t);
VERSION
This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.
DESCRIPTION
The th_set_*() functions each set an individual field of the current
tar header associated with the TAR handle t. The th_set_user() and
th_set_group() functions set both the numeric user/group ID fields and
the user/group name text fields. The other functions set only the
field that they refer to.
The th_set_from_stat() function uses the other th_set_*() functions to
set all of the fields at once, based on the data passed to it in the
argument s.
The th_finish() function sets the appropriate constants for the magic
and version fields. It then calculates the header checksum and fills
in the checksum field.
