    tf, err := os.Open("path/to/archive.tar")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer tf.Close()

	tfs, err := tarfs.New(tf)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	f, err := tfs.Open("path/to/some/file")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// defer f.Close() isn't necessary, it is a noop
    
	// use f...
}
