No, you should use libnetfs, because the nodes in the directory hierarchy provided by tarfs are "virtual" - in a way. > How can i extract the tar files to directory? I think you're misunderstanding something. The whole purpose of tarfs is to provide transparent access to tar archives _without_ the need of extracting the archive. Instead of extracting, you should be able to simply use tarfs, which then provides a virtual filesystem for the archive content - just as it has been extracted. Some notes: - tarfs should scan a given tar archive and construct a data structure with the information it needs - it could then for example build a complete hierarchy of nodes, which corresponds to the content of the tar archive - then all the netfs function have to be implemented to operate on these data structures... moritz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://duesseldorf.ccc.de/~moritz/ GPG fingerprint = 3A14 3923 15BE FD57 FC06 B501 0841 2D7B 6F98 4199 _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
