"""General-purpose rule to create tar archives.

Unlike [pkg_tar from rules_pkg](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/blob/main/docs/latest.md#pkg_tar):

- It does not depend on any Python interpreter setup
- The "manifest" specification is a mature public API and uses a compact tabular format, fixing
  https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/pull/238
- It doesn't rely custom program to produce the output, instead
  we rely on the well-known C++ program called "tar".
  Specifically, we use the BSD variant of tar since it provides a means
  of controlling mtimes, uid, symlinks, etc.

We also provide full control for tar'ring binaries including their runfiles.

The `tar` binary is hermetic and fully statically-linked.
It is fetched as a toolchain from https://github.com/aspect-build/bsdtar-prebuilt.

## Examples

See the [`tar` tests](/lib/tests/tar/BUILD.bazel) for examples of usage.

## Mutating the tar contents

The `mtree_spec` rule can be used to create an mtree manifest for the tar file.
Then you can mutate that spec using `mtree_mutate` and feed the result
as the `mtree` attribute of the `tar` rule.

For example, to set the owner uid of files in the tar, you could:

```starlark
_TAR_SRCS = ["//some:files"]

mtree_spec(
    name = "mtree",
    srcs = _TAR_SRCS,
)

mtree_mutate(
    name = "change_owner",
    mtree = ":mtree",
    owner = "1000",
)

tar(
    name = "tar",
    srcs = _TAR_SRCS,
    mtree = "change_owner",
)
```

    ### Options for mtree

    mtree provides the "specification" or manifest of a tar file.
    See https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?mtree(8)
    Because BSD tar doesn't have a flag to set modification times to a constant,
    we must always supply an mtree input to get reproducible builds.
    See https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/archives/ for more explanation.

    1. By default, mtree is "auto" which causes the macro to create an `mtree_spec` rule.

    2. `mtree` may be supplied as an array literal of lines, e.g.

    ```
    mtree =[
        "usr/bin uid=0 gid=0 mode=0755 type=dir",
        "usr/bin/ls uid=0 gid=0 mode=0755 time=0 type=file content={}/a".format(package_name()),
    ],
    ```

    For the format of a line, see "There are four types of lines in a specification" on the man page for BSD mtree,
    https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?mtree(8)

    3. `mtree` may be a label of a file containing the specification lines.

    Args:
        name: name of resulting `tar_rule`
        mtree: "auto", or an array of specification lines, or a label of a file that contains the lines.
