https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245748 Bug ID: 245748 Summary: New port: archivers/tar-stream-chunker streams stdin of unknown size as a tar to stdout Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: igor.ostapenko@pm.me Created attachment 213578 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D213578&action= =3Dedit tar-stream-chunker.diff Splits stdin of unknown size onto chunks of given size and collects such ch= unk files as a TAR archive what is written to stdout. Initial motivation was to use it as a packer of a data stream what pipes it= to https://tarsnap.com for backup purposes, with a requirement of low and more predictable memory consumption. And the problem solved here is that TAR file header should specify size of a file, but it's unknown due to the nature of input data stream. The following real case could be an example: $ pg_dump ... | tar_stream_chunker ... | tarsnap -c ... @- --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
