Subject: pgsql: Move tar detection and compression logic to common.
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:32:10 +0000
Message-ID: <E1w3fZp-000gjX-2n@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Move tar detection and compression logic to common.

Consolidate tar archive identification and compression-type detection
logic into a shared location. Currently used by pg_basebackup and
pg_verifybackup, this functionality is also required for upcoming
pg_waldump enhancements.

This change promotes code reuse and simplifies maintenance across
frontend tools.
