  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setLongFileMode

          public void setLongFileMode(int longFileMode)

      Set the long file mode. This can be LONGFILE_ERROR(0), LONGFILE_TRUNCATE(1) or LONGFILE_GNU(2). This specifies the treatment of long file names (names >= TarConstants.NAMELEN). Default is LONGFILE_ERROR.
      Parameters:
        `longFileMode` - the mode to use

    - #### setBigNumberMode

          public void setBigNumberMode(int bigNumberMode)

      Set the big number mode. This can be BIGNUMBER_ERROR(0), BIGNUMBER_POSIX(1) or BIGNUMBER_STAR(2). This specifies the treatment of big files (sizes > TarConstants.MAXSIZE) and other numeric values to big to fit into a traditional tar header. Default is BIGNUMBER_ERROR.
      Parameters:
        `bigNumberMode` - the mode to use
      Since:
        1.4

    - #### setAddPaxHeadersForNonAsciiNames

          public void setAddPaxHeadersForNonAsciiNames(boolean b)

      Whether to add a PAX extension header for non-ASCII file names.
      Since:
        1.4

    - #### getCount

          @Deprecated
          public int getCount()

      Deprecated.
      Description copied from class: `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Returns the current number of bytes written to this stream.
      Overrides:
        `getCount` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Returns:
        the number of written bytes

    - #### getBytesWritten

          public long getBytesWritten()

      Description copied from class: `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Returns the current number of bytes written to this stream.
      Overrides:
        `getBytesWritten` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Returns:
        the number of written bytes

    - #### finish

          public void finish()
                      throws IOException

      Ends the TAR archive without closing the underlying OutputStream. An archive consists of a series of file entries terminated by an end-of-archive entry, which consists of two 512 blocks of zero bytes. POSIX.1 requires two EOF records, like some other implementations.
      Specified by:
        `finish` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - on error

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Closes the underlying OutputStream.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `OutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - on error

    - #### getRecordSize

          public int getRecordSize()

      Get the record size being used by this stream's TarBuffer.
      Returns:
        The TarBuffer record size.

    - #### putArchiveEntry

          public void putArchiveEntry(ArchiveEntry archiveEntry)
                               throws IOException

      Put an entry on the output stream. This writes the entry's header record and positions the output stream for writing the contents of the entry. Once this method is called, the stream is ready for calls to write() to write the entry's contents. Once the contents are written, closeArchiveEntry() MUST be called to ensure that all buffered data is completely written to the output stream.
      Specified by:
        `putArchiveEntry` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Parameters:
        `archiveEntry` - The TarEntry to be written to the archive.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - on error
        `ClassCastException` - if archiveEntry is not an instance of TarArchiveEntry

    - #### closeArchiveEntry

          public void closeArchiveEntry()
                                 throws IOException

      Close an entry. This method MUST be called for all file entries that contain data. The reason is that we must buffer data written to the stream in order to satisfy the buffer's record based writes. Thus, there may be data fragments still being assembled that must be written to the output stream before this entry is closed and the next entry written.
      Specified by:
        `closeArchiveEntry` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - on error

    - #### write

          public void write(byte[] wBuf,
                   int wOffset,
                   int numToWrite)
                     throws IOException

      Writes bytes to the current tar archive entry. This method is aware of the current entry and will throw an exception if you attempt to write bytes past the length specified for the current entry. The method is also (painfully) aware of the record buffering required by TarBuffer, and manages buffers that are not a multiple of recordsize in length, including assembling records from small buffers.
      Overrides:
        `write` in class `OutputStream`
      Parameters:
        `wBuf` - The buffer to write to the archive.
        `wOffset` - The offset in the buffer from which to get bytes.
        `numToWrite` - The number of bytes to write.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - on error

    - #### flush

          public void flush()
                     throws IOException

      Specified by:
        `flush` in interface `Flushable`
      Overrides:
        `flush` in class `OutputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### createArchiveEntry

          public ArchiveEntry createArchiveEntry(File inputFile,
                                        String entryName)
                                          throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Create an archive entry using the inputFile and entryName provided.
      Specified by:
        `createArchiveEntry` in class `ArchiveOutputStream`
      Returns:
        the ArchiveEntry set up with details from the file
      Throws:
        `IOException`
