- sprinkle some fflush() to print filenames correctly.
- print a \n to stdout to fix formatting.
- English, consistently use "Cannot" in error messages.
some whitespace cleanup.
0. Revert previous change for PR/18689. We always want to exit with
an error if we could not determine the archive format. Instead,
treat empty files specially. On list/extract we turn into no/op.
On append, we turn into archive.
extract. We now generate GNU tar archives by default ("ustar ^@" instead of
"ustar^@00"). GNU extensions can be disabled with --strict.
XXX: long symlinks untested.

we don't turn the switch on to replace tar and cpio yet.
leaving the ansi stuff)
- use longlong_t instead of quad_t (etc), and rename *uqd*() -> *ull*()
- clean up the NET2_STAT stuff similar to ftpd; provide #defines and
macros which select which cast to use, etc
- clean up the NET2_FTS and NET2_REGEX #define use
a new volume upon premature end-of-volume (e.g. broken pipe). This is
especially useful in automated environments where error recovery cannot
be performed by a human.
Continue partial write(2) on signals (xwrite()).
Partial read(2) at a few places are also continued (xread()).
Add {read,write}_with_restart() hooks for porting on systems
which don't restart interrupted read()/write() calls.
Reviewed and discussed in tech-kern and tech-userlevel lists.
- minor cleanups to the options parsing code.
- add a cpio frontend.
note: a few GNU/svr4 cpio options are not supported yet (#ifdef
notyet), however all x/open ones are.
