## Message

```
std.tar: test buffers provided to the iterator

Tar header stores name in max 256 bytes and link name in max 100 bytes.
Those are minimums for provided buffers. Error is raised during iterator
init if buffers are not long enough.

Pax and gnu extensions can store longer names. If such extension is
reached during unpack and don't fit into provided buffer error is
returned.

```
