+.Sh BUGS
+Many traditional archiver programs treat
+empty files as valid empty archives.
+For example, many implementations of
+.Xr tar 1
+allow you to append entries to an empty file.
+Of course, it is impossible to determine the format of an empty file
+by inspecting the contents, so this library treats empty files as
+having a special
+.Dq empty
+format.
