# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler---------------------------------------------------| libarchive: Libarchive libarchive: libarchive: Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read libarchive: several different streaming archive formats, including most popular libarchive: tar variants, several cpio formats, and both BSD and GNU ar libarchive: variants.
