Changelog

7.4

• Deprecate onentry in favor of onReadEntry for clarity.

7.3

• Add onWriteEntry option

7.2

• DRY the command definitions into a single makeCommand method, and update the type signatures to more appropriately infer the return type from the options and arguments provided.

7.1

• Update minipass to v7.1.0
• Update the type definitions of write() and end() methods on Unpack and Parser classes to be compatible with the NodeJS.WritableStream type in the latest versions of @types/node.

• Rewrite in TypeScript, provide ESM and CommonJS hybrid interface
• Add tree-shake friendly exports, like import('tar/create') and import('tar/read-entry') to get individual functions or classes.
