Detailed Description

Documentation for compile-time configuration macros.

The DOXYGEN_DOCS macro is used exclusively by documentation generators like Doxygen. Because minipaxtar enables reading and writing by default, these option macros (such as MPTAR_NO_READ) are not normally defined in the source code. Wrapping them in "#ifdef DOXYGEN_DOCS" allows Doxygen to index and document them without altering actual build configurations.

Stable configuration macros and custom conversion/string hooks.

These options, features, and custom conversion hooks are guaranteed stable and will follow standard deprecation cycles if ever slated for modification or removal.
