+.SH NAME
+tar \- The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B tar

+.B \-
+]
+.B A \-\-catenate \-\-concatenate \||\| c \-\-create \||\| d \-\-diff \-\-compare \||\| \-\-delete \||\| r \-\-append \||\| t \-\-list \||\| u \-\-update \||\| x \-\-extract \-\-get

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+This manual page documents the GNU version of
+.B tar
+, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from 
+an archive file known as a 
+.IR tarfile.
+A 
+.IR tarfile 
+may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
+to write a
+.IR tarfile
+to a normal file. 
+The first argument to 
+.B tar
+must be one of the options:
+.BR Acdrtux ,
+followed by any optional functions.
+The final arguments to 
+.B 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.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.B tar \-xvvf foo.tar
+extract foo.tar
+.TP
+.B tar \-xvvzf foo.tar.gz
+extract gzipped foo.tar.gz
+.TP
+.B tar \-cvvf foo.tar foo/
+tar contents of folder foo in foo.tar
+.SH "FUNCTION LETTERS"
+.TP
+.B One of the following options must be used:
+.TP
+.B \-A, \-\-catenate, \-\-concatenate
+append tar files to an archive
+.TP
+.B \-c, \-\-create     
+create a new archive
+.TP
+.B \-d, \-\-diff, \-\-compare
+find differences between archive and file system
+.TP
+.B \-\-delete          
+delete from the archive (not for use on mag tapes!)
+.TP
+.B \-r, \-\-append             
+append files to the end of an archive
+.TP
+.B \-t, \-\-list               
+list the contents of an archive
+.TP
+.B \-u, \-\-update             
+only append files that are newer than copy in archive

+.TP
+.B \-\-check\-device

+The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,

+If this environment variable is unset, use stdin or stdout instead.
+.TP
+.B TAR_OPTIONS
+Options to prepend to those specified on the command line, separated by
+whitespace.  Embedded backslashes may be used to escape whitespace or
+backslashes within an option.
+.LP
+In addition, the value of the blocking factor is made available to info
+and checkpoint scripts via environment variable 
+.B TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR.
+.SH BUGS
+.LP
+The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages and create info documents instead.
+The maintainer of \fBtar\fR falls into this category.  Thus, this man page may 
+not be complete nor current, and it is included in the Cross-LFS Build 
+because man is a great tool :).  This man page was taken from Debian 
+Linux and has since been lovingly updated here.

+This man page was created for the Cross LFS Build.  It does not describe
+all of the functionality of tar, and it is often out of date.  Patches to 
+improve the coverage and/or accuracy of this man page are appreciated, and
+should be filed as tickets in bug reporting system for Cross-LFS and
+not submitted to the GNU tar maintainers. The URL for the Cross-LFS bug
+reporting system is at
