- <p>Opens a handle to a tar file on the server, the handle

+ <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>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: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]),
+ ok = erl_tar:close(HandleRead),
+ </code>
+
+ <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">>,
+ Ivec0 = crypto:rand_bytes(16),
+ DataSize = 1024, % DataSize rem 16 = 0 for aes_cbc
+
+ %% Initialization of the CryptoState, in this case it is the Ivector.
+ InitFun = fun() -> {ok, Ivec0, DataSize} end,
+
+ %% How to encrypt:
+ EncryptFun =
+ fun(PlainBin,Ivec) ->
+ EncryptedBin = crypto:block_encrypt(aes_cbc256, Key, Ivec, PlainBin),
+ {ok, EncryptedBin, crypto:next_iv(aes_cbc,EncryptedBin)}
+ end,
+
+ %% What to do with the very last block:
+ CloseFun =
+ fun(PlainBin, Ivec) ->
+ EncryptedBin = crypto:block_encrypt(aes_cbc256, Key, Ivec,
+ pad(16,PlainBin) %% Last chunk
+ ),
+ {ok, EncryptedBin}
+ end,
+
+ Cw = {InitFun,EncryptFun,CloseFun},
+ {ok,HandleWrite} = ssh_sftp:open_tar(ChannelPid, ?tar_file_name, [write,{crypto,Cw}]),

+ ok = erl_tar:add(HandleWrite, .... ),
+ ...
+ ok = erl_tar:add(HandleWrite, .... ),
+ ok = erl_tar:close(HandleWrite),
+
+ %% And for decryption (in this crypto example we could use the same InitFun
+ %% as for encryption):
+ DecryptFun =
+ fun(EncryptedBin,Ivec) ->
+ PlainBin = crypto:block_decrypt(aes_cbc256, Key, Ivec, EncryptedBin),
+ {ok, PlainBin, crypto:next_iv(aes_cbc,EncryptedBin)}
