    def self.from(stream)
      header = stream.read 512
      empty = (EMPTY_HEADER == header)

    # File lib/rubygems/package/tar_header.rb, line 132
    def self.oct_or_256based(str)
      # \x80 flags a positive 256-based number
      # \ff flags a negative 256-based number
      # In case we have a match, parse it as a signed binary value
      # in big-endian order, except that the high-order bit is ignored.
      return str.unpack('N2').last if str =~ /\A[\x80\xff]/n

    def self.strict_oct(str)
      return str.strip.oct if str.strip =~ /\A[0-7]*\z/

      raise ArgumentError, "#{str.inspect} is not an octal string"
    end

### Public Instance Methods
