th_set_from_stat, th_finish, th_set_type, th_set_path, th_set_link, th_set_device, th_set_user,

       The th_set_*() functions each set an individual field of the current tar header associated with  the  TAR
       handle  t.   The th_set_user() and th_set_group() functions set both the numeric user/group ID fields and
       the user/group name text fields.  The other functions set only the field that they refer to.

       The th_set_from_stat() function uses the other th_set_*() functions to set all of  the  fields  at  once,
       based on the data passed to it in the argument s.

       The  th_finish()  function  sets  the  appropriate  constants  for the magic and version fields.  It then
       calculates the header checksum and fills in the checksum field.

       th_set_group, th_set_mode, th_set_mtime, th_set_size - set fields of a tar file header
