ttar

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Purpose: plain text tar format
# Limitations: - only suitable for text files, directories, and symlinks
#              - stores only filename, content, and mode
#              - not designed for untrusted input

# Note: must work with bash version 3.2 (macOS)

set -o errexit -o nounset

# Sanitize environment (for instance, standard sorting of glob matches)

    cat << USAGE
Usage:   $bname [-C <DIR>] -c -f <ARCHIVE> <FILE...> (create archive)
         $bname            -t -f <ARCHIVE>           (list archive contents)
         $bname [-C <DIR>] -x -f <ARCHIVE>           (extract archive)

Options:
         -C <DIR>                                    (change directory)

Example: Change to sysfs directory, create ttar file from fixtures directory
         $bname -C sysfs -c -f sysfs/fixtures.ttar fixtures/
