Following is a short description of the tests:
-* gtarfail.sh and gtarfile2.tar
+* gtarfail.at and gtarfail2.at
These tests require gtarfile.tar and gtarfile2.tar, respectively.
These files are POSIX compliant tar archives that were not accepted
by previous versions of GNU tar.
-* multi-fail.sh
+* multi-fail.at
Requires gnu-multi-fail-volume1.gtar and gnu-multi-fail-volume2.gtar.
These are two parts of a multi-volume archive that previous versions
of tar refused to read (at least, without -B option).
-* ustar-big-2g.sh
+* ustar-big-2g.at
Requires ustar-big-2g.tar.bz2. It is a tar archive containing a file with
the largest size that a historic tar implementation is able to understand.
-* ustar-big-8g.sh
+* ustar-big-8g.at
Requires ustar-big-8g.tar.bz2. This is a test for reading an archive containing
files with the largest size that may be used with ustar (POSIX.1-1990)
format.
-* pax-big-10g.sh
+* pax-big-10g.at
Requires pax-big-10g.tar.bz2. It tests handling pax (POSIX.1-2001) archves
containing very large files (in this case -- 10 GB).
-* qucktest.sh
-
-A test for compliance to POSIX.1-1990 tar specification. It requires
-the files ustar-all-quicktest.tar and quicktest.filelist. Apart
-from them, the `tartest' program from 'star' package is needed.
-The test may be run only with root privileges, so it is a good
-idea to test the contents of ustar-all-quicktest.tar before running
-it.
