Draft
Conversation
Commonly one may be building tar archives from the filesystem in a custom way, or operating on a translation of a non-tar format which uses rdev, not split major/minor. Today one needs to replicate the nontrivial bit manipulations to split the device; but since we have that code anyways in our own "build from filesystem" code, let's just add it as a public API.

Took me awhile to get here, but seems reasonable to me! I think there's still some compilation issues though? |

Yeah this needs some more work; not at all urgent. I'll unmark it as draft when ready. |
