+%%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).
