The methods of the TarBuffer class are listed below. For a complete list of TarBuffer class members, see the TarBuffer Members topic.
Public Static Methods
  CreateInputTarBuffer | Overloaded. Create TarBuffer for reading with default BlockFactor |
| CreateOutputTarBuffer | Overloaded. Construct TarBuffer for writing with default BlockFactor |
Public Instance Methods
| Close | Close the TarBuffer. If this is an output buffer, also flush the current block before closing. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| GetBlockFactor | Get the TAR Buffer's block factor |
| GetCurrentBlockNum | Get the current block number, within the current record, zero based. |
| GetCurrentRecordNum | Get the current record number. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetRecordSize | Get the TAR Buffer's record size. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| IsEOFBlock | Determine if an archive block indicates End of Archive. End of archive is indicated by a block that consists entirely of null bytes. All remaining blocks for the record should also be null's However some older tars only do a couple of null blocks (Old GNU tar for one) and also partial records |
| ReadBlock | Read a block from the input stream. |
| SkipBlock | Skip over a block on the input stream. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| WriteBlock | Overloaded. Write a block of data to the archive. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
