# mtar - Minitel Archiver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mtar is a file format for storing multiple files in a single file, much like tar, cpio or zip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## File format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mtar archive files consist of a number of file entries, in the following format:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 2 bytes file name length
|
||
|
|
- the file name
|
||
|
|
- 2 bytes file content length
|
||
|
|
- the file contents
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Archives are terminated either by the end of file, or a record with a name length of zero.
