This folder contains test data.
The utf8 folder contains a set of files whose names are not ASCII or ISO-8859-1. They may be used for testing the ability to handle files using non ASCII file names. Along with those we have 4 samples of what native tar and zip utilities do with these file names:
tar cf utf8_linux.tar utf8
zip -r utf8_linux.zip utf8
tar cf utf8_linux.tar utf8
zip -r utf8_linux.zip utf8
tar cf utf8_win.tar utf8
7z a -r utf8_win.zip utf8
The samples are are intended to be used as input data for tests of capabilities that read data (such as unpacking and filtering a tar file). Code must be able to read tar and zip files produced on a different OS and interpret file names correctly. For now we can study the differences by platform.
