know the location of every pointer to Go memory. Because of this,
there are restrictions on passing pointers between Go and C.

In this section the term Go pointer means a pointer to memory
allocated by Go (such as by using the & operator or calling the
predefined new function) and the term C pointer means a pointer to
memory allocated by C (such as by a call to C.malloc). Whether a
pointer is a Go pointer or a C pointer is a dynamic property

	// Externally, Next iterates through the tar archive as if it is a series of
	// files. Internally, the tar format often uses fake "files" to add meta
	// data that describes the next file. These meta data "files" should not
	// normally be visible to the outside. As such, this loop iterates through
	// one or more "header files" until it finds a "normal file".
