Problem: patch 9.2.0325: runtime(tar): bug in zstd handling
Solution: use correct --zstd argument, separated from other arguments,
rework testing framework (Aaron Burrow).
The tar.vim plugin allows vim to read and manipulate zstd archives,
but it had a bug that caused extraction attempts to fail.
Specifically, if the archive has a .tar.zst or .tzst extension, then
the code was generating invalid extraction commands that looked like
this:
tar --zstdpxf foo.tar.zst foo
When they should be like this:
tar --zstd -pxf foo.tar.zst foo
This patch changes the flag manipulation logic so that --zstd isn't
glued to pxf.
The labor for this change was divided between ChatGPT 5.4 and me.
ChatGPT 5.4 identified the issue (from a code scan?), and I wrote
the patch and tested vim.

Note: tests need the next patch to pass in Nvim.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
