> I'm wrapping up the dump archive reader and don't know how to present ACL
> information. In this case the ACL information is stored after the data so I
> can't simply add it to the archive-specific Entry class - it will only be
> available after the end of the data stream is reached.
> More generally this problem occurs with other extended attributes, e.g.,
> SELinux labels. You can also have this problem with MacOS specific streams,
> e.g., the finder stream.
> One possibility is returning an ArchiveEntry for the extended attributes. It
> can have a isMetadata() method to indicate it's extended attributes. This has
> a huge downside though since legacy code would replace the file contents with
> the extended attributes so we would want an explicit acknowledgement that the
> code is prepared to handle it, e.g., by a constructor flag.
> Is there a better way to handle this?
