*pi_tar.txt* For Vim version 8.0. Last change: 2013 Apr 17 +====================+ | Tar File Interface | +====================+ Author: Charles E.

Use at your own risk! ============================================================================== 1. Contents *tar* *tar-contents* 1. Contents..................................................|tar-contents| 2. Usage.....................................................|tar-usage| 3. Options...................................................|tar-options| 4. History...................................................|tar-history| ============================================================================== 2. Usage *tar-usage* *tar-manual* When one edits a *.tar file, this plugin will handle displaying a contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in tar archives via the plugin. *:Vimuntar* VIMUNTAR~ :Vimuntar [vimhome] This command copies, if necessary, the tarball to the .vim or vimfiles directory using the first writable directory in the |'runtimepath'| when no [vimhome] is specified. Otherwise, the [vimhome] argument allows the user to specify that directory, instead. The copy is done using the command in *g:tar_copycmd* , which is > cp for cygwin, unix, macunix copy for windows (32, 95, 64, 16) < The extraction is done with the command specified with *g:tar_extractcmd* , which by default is > "tar -xf" < *:TarDiff* DIFFERENCING SUPPORT~ :TarDiff [filename] This command will attempt to show the differences between the tarball version of a file and the associated file on the system. In order to find that file on the system, the script uses the path associated with the file mentioned in the tarball. If the current directory is not correct for that path, :TarDiff will fail to find the associated file. If the [filename] is given, that that filename (and path) will be used to specify the associated file. PREVENTING LOADING~ If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine tar'd files, you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent the tar plugin from loading: > let g:loaded_tarPlugin= 1 let g:loaded_tar = 1 < ============================================================================== 3. Options *tar-options* These options are variables that one may change, typically in one's <.vimrc> file. Default Variable Value Explanation *g:tar_browseoptions* "Ptf" used to get a list of contents *g:tar_readoptions* "OPxf" used to extract a file from a tarball *g:tar_cmd* "tar" the name of the tar program *g:tar_nomax* 0 if true, file window will not be maximized *g:tar_secure* undef if exists: "--"s will be used to prevent unwanted option expansion in tar commands. Please be sure that your tar command accepts "--"; Posix compliant tar utilities do accept them. if not exists: The tar plugin will reject any tar files or member files that begin with "-" Not all tar's support the "--" which is why it isn't default. *g:tar_writeoptions* "uf" used to update/replace a file ============================================================================== 4. History *tar-history* v28 Jun 23, 2011 * a few more decompression options (tbz tb2 txz) v27 May 31, 2011 * moved cygwin detection before g:tar_copycmd handling * inserted additional |:keepj| modifiers * changed silent to sil!
