+	can be used for remote tar creation and extraction as defined by the
+	<seealso marker="stdlib:erl_tar#init/3">erl_tar:init/3</seealso> function.
+	</p>
+	<p>An example of writing and then reading a tar file:</p>
+        <code type="none">
+          {ok,HandleWrite} = ssh_sftp:open_tar(ChannelPid, ?tar_file_name, [write]),
+          ok = erl_tar:add(HandleWrite, .... ),

+              ...
+          ok = erl_tar:add(HandleWrite, .... ),
+          ok = erl_tar:close(HandleWrite),
+
+          %% And for reading
+          {ok,HandleRead} = ssh_sftp:open_tar(ChannelPid, ?tar_file_name, [read]),
+          {ok,NameValueList} = erl_tar:extract(HandleRead,[memory]),

+
+	<p>The <c>crypto</c> mode option is applied to the generated stream of bytes just prior to sending
+	them to the sftp server.  This is intended for encryption but could of course be used for other
+	purposes.
+	</p>
+	<p>The <c>InitFun</c> is applied once
+	prior to any other crypto operation. The returned <c>CryptoState</c> is then folded into
+	repeated applications of the <c>EncryptFun</c> or <c>DecryptFun</c>.  The binary returned
+	from those Funs are sent further to the remote sftp server. Finally - if doing encryption
+	- the <c>CloseFun</c> is applied to the last piece of data.  The <c>CloseFun</c> is
+	responsible for padding (if needed) and encryption of that last piece.
+	</p>
+	<p>The <c>ChunkSize</c> defines the size of the <c>PlainBin</c>s that <c>EncodeFun</c> is applied
+	to. If the <c>ChunkSize</c> is <c>undefined</c> the size of the <c>PlainBin</c>s varies because
+	this is	inteded for stream crypto while a fixed  <c>ChunkSize</c> is intended for block crypto. It
+	is possible to change the  <c>ChunkSize</c>s in the return from the <c>EncryptFun</c> or
+	<c>DecryptFun</c>. It is in fact possible to change the value between <c>pos_integer()</c> and
+	<c>undefined</c>.
+	</p>
+	<p>The write and read example above can be extended with encryption and decryption:</p>
+        <code type="none">
+          %% First three parameters depending on which crypto type we select:
+          Key = &lt;&lt;"This is a 256 bit key. abcdefghi">>,

+          DataSize = 1024,  % DataSize rem 16 = 0 for aes_cbc
