<p>Opens a handle to a tar file on the server, associated with <c>ChannelPid</c>.
- The handle 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> For code exampel see Section
- <seealso marker="using_ssh">SFTP Client with TAR Compression and Encryption</seealso> in
- the ssh Users Guide. </p>
-
- <p>The <c>crypto</c> mode option is applied to the generated stream of bytes prior to sending
- them to the SFTP server. This is intended for encryption but can be used for other
- purposes.
+ The handle can be used for remote tar creation and extraction. The actual writing
+ and reading is performed by calls to
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:erl_tar#add-3">erl_tar:add/3,4</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:erl_tar#extract-2">erl_tar:extract/2</seealso>.
+ Note: The
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:erl_tar#init-3">erl_tar:init/3</seealso> function should not
+ be called, that one is called by this open_tar function.
</p>
- <p>The <c>InitFun</c> is applied once
- prior to any other <c>crypto</c> 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>For code examples see Section
+ <seealso marker="using_ssh#sftp-client-with-tar-compression">SFTP Client with TAR Compression</seealso>
+ in the ssh Users Guide.
</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 intended for stream crypto, whereas a fixed <c>ChunkSize</c> is intended for block crypto.
- <c>ChunkSize</c>s can be changed in the return from the <c>EncryptFun</c> or
- <c>DecryptFun</c>. The value can be changed between <c>pos_integer()</c> and <c>undefined</c>.
+ <p>The <c>crypto</c> mode option is explained in the data types section above, see
+ <seealso marker="#Crypto operations for open_tar">Crypto operations for open_tar</seealso>.
+ Encryption is assumed if the <c>Mode</c> contains <c>write</c>, and
+ decryption if the <c>Mode</c> contains <c>read</c>.
