DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the GNU version of tar , an archiving program designed to store and extract files from an archive file known	as
       a  tarfile.   A tarfile may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common to write a tarfile to a normal file.  The first argument to
       tar must be one of the options: Acdrtux, followed by any optional functions.  The final arguments to tar are the  names	of  the  files	or
       directories  which  should  be archived. The use of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be included in the
       archive.

FUNCTION LETTERS

       One of the following options must be used:

       -A, --catenate, --concatenate
	      append tar files to an archive

       -c, --create
	      create a new archive

       -d, --diff, --compare
	      find differences between archive and file system

       --delete
	      delete from the archive (not for use on mag tapes!)

       -r, --append
	      append files to the end of an archive

       -t, --list
	      list the contents of an archive

       -u, --update
	      only append files that are newer than copy in archive

       -x, --extract, --get
	      extract files from an archive

OTHER OPTIONS

       --atime-preserve
	      don't change access times on dumped files

       -b, --block-size N
	      block size of Nx512 bytes (default N=20)

       -B, --read-full-blocks
	      reblock as we read (for reading 4.2BSD pipes)

       -C, --directory DIR
	      change to directory DIR

       --checkpoint
	      print directory names while reading the archive

       -f, --file [HOSTNAME:]F
	      use archive file or device F (default /dev/rmt0)

       --force-local
	      archive file is local even if has a colon

       -F, --info-script F --new-volume-script F
	      run script at end of each tape (implies -M)

       -G, --incremental
	      create/list/extract old GNU-format incremental backup

       -g, --listed-incremental F
	      create/list/extract new GNU-format incremental backup

	      don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to

	      ignore blocks of zeros in archive (normally mean EOF)
