75
75
 
76
- As stated above, **this is not a general purpose tar
77
- implementation**. It does not handle symbolic links at all (those
78
- aren't allowed in JavaScript packages). It does not respect
79
- uid/gid ownership flags. All files are with a mode of `0o644` (or
80
- `0o666` on Windows - technically it's `0o666` xor'ed with the
81
- system umask, so that'll often be `0o664` on linux systems). All
82
- directories are created with a mode of `0o755` by default (with
83
- the same windows/umask caveats as files, so maybe that's `0o775`
84
- or some such.) All ctime/mtime/atime/birthtime values will just
85
- be left as the current time.
86
-
87
- It does not do any of the binary linking or other stuff that a
88
- package manager will need to do. It _just_ does the unpack, as
89
- ruthlessly fast as possible, and that's all.
90
-
91
- Synchronous IO is used because that's faster and requires less
92
- CPU utilization. The `Pool` class manages multiple worker threads
93
- doing this work, so faster sync IO for the whole thing is much
94
- more optimal.
