Contains all methods, properties, classes, etc. for handling Unix Standard TAR (USTAR) archives.

This module can be used by itself or in concert with one or more compression modules.

BZip2 (maintained separately)	`USTAR.USE_BZIP`	`False`	For BZip2 compression
LZMA (maintained separately)	`USTAR.USE_LZMA`	`False`	For XZ compression.
