uutils tar is a work-in-progress Rust reimplementation of GNU tar, the ubiquitous archiving utility.

This project aims to be a drop-in replacement for GNU tar, supporting the creation, extraction, and manipulation of tar archives across platforms.

Note: This project is still in early development. Many features are not yet implemented and behavior may differ from GNU tar.

Goals

Implement a cross-platform, memory-safe tar that is compatible with GNU tar archives and command-line interface.
