I want to make a program that makes and extracts tar files from scratch a other sit said that using wikipedias specifications it's easy but I don't know how to do half that stuff! Like makeing the thing to the right size moving where it writes and reads to. Making all the data in it the right size! The 'padding' to make each file fit in the right spaces! Please help! I want to do this in C++ file io not C (C's way is kind of ugly)
