Package duplicity :: Module tarfile :: Class TarInfo

Class TarInfo

Informational class which holds the details about an archive member given by a tar header block. TarInfo objects are returned by TarFile.getmember(), TarFile.getmembers() and TarFile.gettarinfo() and are usually created internally.
