## libmtar
libmtar is the reference implementation of mtar. It provides two functions:
- `libmtar.genHeader(string: name, number: len): string`
Generates an mtar file header for a file called *name* that is *len* bytes long.
- `libmtar.iter(table: stream): function`
Given buffer *stream*, returns an iterator suitable for use with *for* that returns, for each iteration, the file name, a function to read from the file, and the length of the file.
