11. unTar and uncompress unZIP the directory in one command
12. Removing leading `/' from member names
sometimes
which means:
1. warning message to tell you that it is writing a tar file without absolute paths.
This is because you cannot then relocate the data at a later date when you un-archive the file.
2. tar takes relative paths. The file paths in a tar archive are stored as relative paths for a good reason.
It gives you more flexibility about where to restore files. You may want to restore files into another location.
The relative path makes this possible.
I'm trying to set up a stanard sh script that will find all the files that have been changed within the last day and then tar them up.
I think the command line should be something like :
find /home/bob -atime +0 -exec \ tar cvf /home/bob/files.tar {}\;
Help please ...
Thanx (3 Replies)

VERSION
This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.
DESCRIPTION
The th_get_*() functions extract individual fields from the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_IS*() macros are used to evaluate what kind of file is pointed to by the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_ISLONGNAME() and TH_ISLONGLINK() macros evaluate whether or not the GNU extensions are used by the current tar header associated
with the TAR handle t. This is only relevant if the TAR_GNU option was used when tar_open() was called.
