    public 
procedure TTarWriter.AddDir(Dirname: AnsiString; DateGmt: TDateTime; 
                           MaxDirSize: Int64=0);

    Description

    AddDir adds a directory entry to the archive. The entry is written with name DirName, maximum directory size MaxDirSize (0 means unlimited) and timestamp DateGmt.

    Note that this call only adds an entry for a directory to the archive: if DirName is an existing directory, it does not write all files in the directory to the archive.

    The directory entry is written with the current owner data and permissions.
