#
# This script accepts a tarball on standard input and filters it according to
# the same rules used by dpkg --path-exclude and --path-include, using command
# line options of the same name. The result is then printed on standard output.
#
# A tool like this should be written in C but libarchive has issues:
# https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/587
# https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1288/ (needs 3.4.1)
# Should these issues get fixed, then a good template is tarfilter.c in the
# examples directory of libarchive.
#
# We are not using Perl either, because Archive::Tar slurps the whole tarball
# into memory.
#
# We could also use Go but meh...

Filters a tarball on standard input by the same rules as the dpkg --path-exclude
and --path-include options and writes resulting tarball to standard output. See
dpkg(1) for information on how these two options work in detail. To reuse the
exact same semantics as used by dpkg, paths must be given as /path and not as
./path even though they might be stored as such in the tarball.

Secondly, filter out unwanted pax extended headers. This is useful in cases
where a tool only accepts certain xattr prefixes. For example tar2sqfs only
supports SCHILY.xattr.user.*, SCHILY.xattr.trusted.* and
SCHILY.xattr.security.* but not SCHILY.xattr.system.posix_acl_default.*.

Both types of options use Unix shell-style wildcards:

       * matches everything
       ? matches any single character
   [seq] matches any character in seq
  [!seq] matches any character not in seq

Thirdly, transform the path of tar members using a sed expression just as with
GNU tar --transform.

Fourthly, strip leading directory components off of tar members. Just as with
GNU tar --strip-components, tar members that have less or equal components in
their path are not passed through.

Lastly, shift user id and group id of each entry by the value given by the
--idshift argument. The resulting uid or gid must not be negative.
