-----------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies if this is a naive question. Maybe I am just confused, but I can't
seem to find a way to specify the tar format when writing. I checked both
TarFile and TarArchiveOutputStream and I just don't see it. Any pointers in the
right direction would be truly appreciated.
