   > @XenoAmess are you going to retrieve the `linkFlag` byte value, and then compare doing something like `if (linkFlag == SOME_CONSTANT) {} else if (linkFlag == ANOTHER_CONSTANT) { ... }` ?
   > 
   > If so, would it be possible to instead use the public methods like `if (obj.isBlockDevice())`, `else if (obj.isCharacterDevice())`, etc., instead?
   > 
   > Just checking if there's no alternative to making this property public.

   no, I would put it directly into the output tar
   
   the mechenism of my compression is only compress entries with some linkFlag types.
   
   for others, just make them same and clone them directly into the output compressed tar.
