Features of this crate:

• A no_std + alloc optimized reimplementation of the streaming infrastructure of std::io.
• Custom Read and Write traits that support user defined error types.

• Fully no_std + alloc compatible.
• A usable streaming frontend API for the miniz_oxide crate.
• Supports concatenated gzip, zlib and raw deflate streams.
• Supports auto detection of gzip, zlib, raw deflate, uncompressed streams.

• Fully no_std + alloc compatible.
• A streaming implementation that implements the Write trait.
• Supports all common tar formats: ustar, v7, pax, and gnu.
• It is very forgiving and strives to limit panics and resource exhaustion attacks.
• Most commonly used metadata is preserved.

• Creates tarballs using the pax format.
• Writing the gnu sparse 1.0 format is also supported.

• Add std feature to enable std::io compatibility.
• Add more impls for Rc Arc and Mutex for std feature for Read and Write traits.
• Add parking lot feature to enable more impls for Read and Write traits.
• After maturing enough move no_std_io to its own crate.
• Add feature to opt in to time dependency.
• Fix clippy lints
• Add alloc feature
• Add doc comments with examples to all public functions and structs.
• Add audit log to tar parser to track spec violations
• Write a tar fuzzer

• Proper pipe https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/fn.pipe.html
• Add chain read extension and ChainedReader (impl buffered reader if both readers are buffered readers)
• [copy_to] or [copy_from] or [copy_buffered] (picks the bigger buffer)
• Add lines, split extension to readbuffered
• Add std::io take extension trait that creates ReaderLimited and WriterLimited
• Add seek trait https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Seek.html and implement it
• Cursor: Read + Seek + BufRead + Write (has inner_buffer and pos) https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.Cursor.html replaces writer_buffer
• Add emscripten feature to enable no_std_io compatibility.

• Make tar creator, extractor, gz compressor, gz decompressor into Read/Write.
• gen tar
• gnu sparse files
• Cleanup the pax parser and how it uses the cursor. to do that add write_until and read_until
• https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/Dumpdir.html#Dumpdir
• Configure limits for all growable buffers in the tar parser.
• Add inode writer trait

• Add filesystem trait and filesystem agnostic file api. (Default ship a memory based implementation serialize to tar_gz and extract from tar_gz.)
