The libarchive library features:
* Support for a variety of archive and compression formats ?.
* Robust automatic format detection ?, including archive/compression
combinations such as tar.gz.
* Zero-copy internal architecture ? for high performance.
* Streaming architecture eliminates all limits on size of archive, limits on
entry sizes depend on particular formats.
* Carefully factored code to minimize bloat when programs are statically linked.
* Growing test suite ? to verify correctness of new ports.
