    - #### parseOctal

          public static long parseOctal(byte[] buffer,
                                        int offset,
                                        int length)

      Parse an octal string from a buffer.

      Leading spaces are ignored. The buffer must contain a trailing space or NUL, and may contain an additional trailing space or NUL.

      The input buffer is allowed to contain all NULs, in which case the method returns 0L (this allows for missing fields).

      To work-around some tar implementations that insert a leading NUL this method returns 0 if it detects a leading NUL since Commons Compress 1.4.

      Parameters:
        `buffer` - The buffer from which to parse.
        `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
        `length` - The maximum number of bytes to parse - must be at least 2 bytes.
      Returns:
        The long value of the octal string.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the trailing space/NUL is missing or if a invalid byte is detected.

    - #### parseOctalOrBinary

          public static long parseOctalOrBinary(byte[] buffer,
                                                int offset,
                                                int length)

      Compute the value contained in a byte buffer. If the most significant bit of the first byte in the buffer is set, this bit is ignored and the rest of the buffer is interpreted as a binary number. Otherwise, the buffer is interpreted as an octal number as per the parseOctal function above.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - The buffer from which to parse.
        `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
        `length` - The maximum number of bytes to parse.
      Returns:
        The long value of the octal or binary string.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the trailing space/NUL is missing or an invalid byte is detected in an octal number, or if a binary number would exceed the size of a signed long 64-bit integer.

        1.4

      Returns:
        The computed checksum.

    - #### verifyCheckSum

          public static boolean verifyCheckSum(byte[] header)

      Wikipedia says:

      > The checksum is calculated by taking the sum of the unsigned byte values of the header block with the eight checksum bytes taken to be ascii spaces (decimal value 32). It is stored as a six digit octal number with leading zeroes followed by a NUL and then a space. Various implementations do not adhere to this format. For better compatibility, ignore leading and trailing whitespace, and get the first six digits. In addition, some historic tar implementations treated bytes as signed. Implementations typically calculate the checksum both ways, and treat it as good if either the signed or unsigned sum matches the included checksum.

      The return value of this method should be treated as a best-effort heuristic rather than an absolute and final truth. The checksum verification logic may well evolve over time as more special cases are encountered.

      Parameters:
        `header` - tar header
      Returns:
        whether the checksum is reasonably good

      For PAX Format 1.X: The sparse map itself is stored in the file data block, preceding the actual file data. It consists of a series of decimal numbers delimited by newlines. The map is padded with nulls to the nearest block boundary. The first number gives the number of entries in the map. Following are map entries, each one consisting of two numbers giving the offset and size of the data block it describes.
      Parameters:
        `inputStream` - parsing source.
        `recordSize` - The size the TAR header
      Returns:
        sparse headers
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
