With this approach, the link map and links names of a directory could be compared against that of another directory to derive additions and changes to hardlinks.

#### Platform-specific attributes

Implementations on Windows MUST support these additional attributes, encoded in [PAX vendor
extensions](https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/ManPageTar5#pax-interchange-format) as follows:

* [Windows file attributes](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg258117(v=vs.85).aspx) (`MSWINDOWS.fileattr`)
* [Security descriptor](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230366.aspx) (`MSWINDOWS.rawsd`): base64-encoded self-relative binary security descriptor

* Creation time (`LIBARCHIVE.creationtime`)
