- %%short-description: Creates tar archives
- %%full-description:
- 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).
