Description

Backup and recovery tools can read or write POSIX tar archives with TWRP backup format support.

This patched library is useful for software that handles Android recovery backups or archive workflows requiring TWRP-specific behavior. It does not add a backup manager by itself; another program uses it while creating, extracting, or inspecting archives.

Archive operations can overwrite files or expose private backup contents. Confirm paths, permissions, and restore targets before using tools that depend on it.
