class TarEntry {
  constructor(header: TarHeader, body: ReadableStream<Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>>): TarEntry

  // Accessors
  get body(): ReadableStream<Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>>
  get bodyUsed(): boolean
  get header(): TarHeader
  get name(): string
  get size(): number

  // Methods

```

## Constructor

### Parameters

#### `header`

The header info for this entry

#### `body`

The entry's content as a stream

## Accessors

### `body`

The content of this entry as a `ReadableStream<Uint8Array>`.

### `bodyUsed`

Whether the body of this entry has been consumed.

### `header`

The raw header info associated with this entry.

### `name`

The name of this entry.
Parsed names include ustar prefixes and GNU/PAX overrides and follow the same
path policy as [`parseTarHeader`](/tar-parser/function/parseTarHeader/).

### `size`

The size of this entry in bytes.

## Methods

### `arrayBuffer(): Promise<ArrayBuffer>`

The content of this entry as an [`ArrayBuffer`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer).



### `bytes(): Promise<Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>>`

The content of this entry buffered into a single typed array using the bytes received.
Rejects if parsing fails before the entry's body is complete.



### `text(): Promise<string>`

The content of this entry as a string.

Note: Do not use this for binary data, use `await entry.bytes()` or stream `entry.body` directly instead.
