Enum ExtensionMode 

pub enum ExtensionMode {
    Gnu,
    Pax,
}

How to handle long paths and other extensions.

When paths exceed 100 bytes or link targets exceed 100 bytes, tar archives use extension mechanisms to store the full values. This enum selects which mechanism to use.

Variants

Gnu

Use GNU extensions (LongLink/LongName pseudo-entries).

This emits a pseudo-entry with typeflag ‘L’ (for long names) or ‘K’ (for long link targets), followed by the actual entry with a truncated name. This is widely compatible with GNU tar.

Pax

Use PAX extensions (extended headers).

This emits a PAX extended header (typeflag ‘x’) containing the full path/linkpath, followed by the actual entry. This is the POSIX.1-2001 standard approach.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ExtensionMode

fn clone(&self) -> ExtensionMode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ExtensionMode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for ExtensionMode

fn default() -> ExtensionMode

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl PartialEq for ExtensionMode

fn eq(&self, other: &ExtensionMode) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for ExtensionMode

impl Eq for ExtensionMode

impl StructuralPartialEq for ExtensionMode
