  14 %%full-description:
  15 GNU tar is an archiver that creates and handles file archives in various
  16 formats. You can use tar to create file archives, to extract files from
  17 previously created archives, store additional files, or update or list
  18 files which were already stored.
  19
  20 The program saves many files together into a single tape or disk
  21 archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. It
  22 includes multivolume support, the ability to archive sparse files,
  23 automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives and
  24 special features that allow 'tar' to be used for incremental and full
  25 backups.
  26
  27 The supported archive formats are: V7 tar, GNU, ustar and POSIX (also
  28 known as pax interchange format). GNU tar is also able to read and
  29 extract 'star' archives.
  30
  31 Tar can direct its output to available devices, files, or other
  32 programs (using pipes); tar can even access remote devices or files
  33 (as archives).
