Bend Tar

A command-line archiver written in Bend that creates, lists, and extracts ustar archives, with optional gzip compression. Its Bend implementation includes a DEFLATE encoder and decoder using LZ77 and Huffman coding.

A matching C implementation provides a comparison target, and smoke checks compare archives and extracted files. The project demonstrates streaming archive work and bounded compression batches in Bend. It currently handles explicitly named files and skips directory entries rather than providing a complete replacement for system tar.
