Archive_Tar::createModify() -- create a new archive
Description
This method creates the archive file and adds the listed files or
directories.
If the file already exists and is writable, it is replaced
by the new tar. It is a 'create' and not a 'add'. If the file exists
and is read-only or is a directory, it is not replaced.
Parameter
mixed $filelist -
an array of filenames and directory
names, or a single string with names separated by a single blank space.
string $add_dir - contains a path to be
added to the memorized path of each element in the list.
string $remove_dir - contains a path to be
removed from the memorized path of each element in the list, when
relevant. Default is an empty string.
Return value
boolean - Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.
