    • Public Static Method Read(data: UInt8[]): TarReader Throws IOError static method #

      A reader of the tar in data, or in the data decompressed when it starts as Gzip's, Zstd's, XZ's, or LZ4's does, which it copies, or an IOError when it isn't a tar, or its compression is broken. A decompressed tar holds no more bytes than an array does.
