How to get notified when done extracting? about tar-fs HOT 5 CLOSED

I worked out I need to listen for the finish event on the tar.extract() part instead:

fs.createReadStream('./my-file.tar')
  .pipe(
    tar.extract('./my-dir')
      .on('finish', function () {
        console.log('DONE!');
      })
  )
  .on('error', function (err) {
    console.error('ERROR', err);
  })
  .on('end', function () {
    console.log('THIS NEVER FIRES');
  });

The original stream's end event is never fired. I'm guessing this is because there are extra bytes at the end of the tar that tar.extract doesn't need to read, so it just stops listening for its data events? Don't know if this is a bug. Please close this if not.

The extract stream does not emit finish since it's a writable stream. The pack stream emits end though (since its readable)

? but finish does fire, in my example
