AI Summary

Ttar is a minimal, freestanding TAR archiver written in C without any libc dependencies, designed for developers working in constrained or bare-metal environments. It creates and extracts TAR archives using only 2.4 KB of code, making it ideal for embedded systems, bootloaders, or kernel development where standard libraries are unavailable. Its interest lies in demonstrating how a core Unix utility can be implemented from scratch with extreme resource efficiency.
