.SH SYNOPSIS
|

.B tar
|
||||
[\fIOPTION\fR...] [\fIFILE\fR]...
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
GNU 'tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can
|
||||
restore individual files from the archive.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this manual page contains just very brief description (or more like
|
||||
a list of possible functionality) originally generated by the
|
||||
.B
|
||||
help2man
|
||||
utility. The full documentation for
|
||||
.B tar
|
||||
is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the
|
||||
.B info
|
||||
and
|
||||
.B tar
|
||||
programs are properly installed at your site, the command
|
||||
.B 'info tar'
|
||||
should give you access to the complete manual.
