|
|
|
+GNU tar is an archiver that creates and handles file archives in various
|
|
|
+formats. You can use tar to create file archives, to extract files from
|
|
|
+previously created archives, store additional files, or update or list
|
|
|
+files which were already stored.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The program saves many files together into a single tape or disk
|
|
|
+archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. It
|
|
|
+includes multivolume support, the ability to archive sparse files,
|
|
|
+automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives and
|
|
|
+special features that allow 'tar' to be used for incremental and full
|
|
|
+backups.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The supported archive formats are: V7 tar, GNU, ustar and POSIX (also
|
|
|
+known as pax interchange format). GNU tar is also able to read and
|
|
|
+extract 'star' archives.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Tar can direct its output to available devices, files, or other
|
|
|
+programs (using pipes); tar can even access remote devices or files
|
|
|
+(as archives).
