write	fn write(entries: Vec<(String, Vec<u8>)>) -> Result<Vec<u8>, errors::Error>	Builds a tar archive from (name, data) pairs.
read_limited	fn read_limited(data: Vec<u8>, max_entries: i64, max_entry_bytes: i64, max_total_bytes: i64) -> Result<Vec<tar::TarEntry>, errors::Error>	read(data) refusing an archive with more than max_entries entries, an entry over max_entry_bytes, or more than max_total_bytes in all, counted as the bytes are read.
extract	fn extract(data: Vec<u8>, dir: String) -> Result<i64, errors::Error>	extract(data, dir) -> Result<i64, Error>: writes every file and directory under dir, refusing the archive before writing anything when a name would land outside it (archive::enclosed_path); answers how many entries it wrote.
