    - #### ArArchiveInputStream

          public ArArchiveInputStream(InputStream pInput)

      Constructs an Ar input stream with the referenced stream
      Parameters:
        `pInput` - the ar input stream

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNextArEntry

          public ArArchiveEntry getNextArEntry()
                                        throws IOException

      Returns the next AR entry in this stream.
      Returns:
        the next AR entry.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if the entry could not be read

    - #### getNextEntry

          public ArchiveEntry getNextEntry()
                                    throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `ArchiveInputStream`
      Returns the next Archive Entry in this Stream.
      Specified by:
        `getNextEntry` in class `ArchiveInputStream`
      Returns:
        the next entry, or `null` if there are no more entries
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if the next entry could not be read

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `InputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b,
                 int off,

    - #### matches

          public static boolean matches(byte[] signature,
                        int length)

      Checks if the signature matches ASCII "!<arch>" followed by a single LF control character
      Parameters:
        `signature` - the bytes to check
        `length` - the number of bytes to check
      Returns:
        true, if this stream is an Ar archive stream, false otherwise
