DAR format questions

Hello,

I am writing a DAR Total Commander plugin. I have managed to get basic browsing and decompression done, creating my own implementation for dar handling (thanks to Wesley Leggette's documentation). But I have a few questions...

1. In the docs, ea flag is specified as

"1 byte inode flag; values are ``ea_none = 0x00`` when no Extended Attributes are stored, ``ea_partial = 0x01`` when partial Extended Attribute information is stored, ``ea_full = 0x02`` when Extended Attributes are fully stored."

I don't have many testcases but I'm getting mostly 0x03 when no EA is present and 0x01 in an archive that seems to have full EA present. What are the correct values then?

2. Incremental backups have different signatures that are not documented. I'm seeing 'D' (0x44) for directories and 'F' (0x46) for files. How are these supposed to be handled?

Thanks,

gulikoza
