     13.SH DESCRIPTION
     14.LP
     15This manual page documents the GNU version of
     16.B tar
     17, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from
     18an archive file known as a
     19.IR tarfile.
     20A
     21.IR tarfile
     22may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
     23to write a
     24.IR tarfile
     25to a normal file.
     26The first argument to
     27.B tar
     28must be one of the options:
     29.BR Acdrtux ,
     30followed by any optional functions.
     31The final arguments to
     32.B tar
     33are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use
     34of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be
     35included in the archive.

     360.SH ENVIRONMENT
     361The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,
     362among others:
     363.TP
     364.B TAPE
     365Device or file to use for the archive if \fB--file\fR is not specified.
     366If this environment variable is unset, use stdin or stdout instead.
     367.TP
     368.B TAR_OPTIONS
     369Options to prepend to those specified on the command line, separated by
     370whitespace.  Embedded backslashes may be used to escape whitespace or
     371backslashes within an option.
     372.LP
     373In addition, the value of the blocking factor is made available to info
     374and checkpoint scripts via environment variable
     375.B TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR.
     376.SH BUGS
     377.LP
     378The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages and create info documents instead.
     379The maintainer of \fBtar\fR falls into this category.  Thus, this man page may
     380not be complete nor current, and it is included in the Cross-LFS Build
     381because man is a great tool :).  This man page was taken from Debian
     382Linux and has since been lovingly updated here.

     390This man page was created for the Cross LFS Build.  It does not describe
     391all of the functionality of tar, and it is often out of date.  Patches to
     392improve the coverage and/or accuracy of this man page are appreciated, and
     393should be filed as tickets in bug reporting system for Cross-LFS and
     394not submitted to the GNU tar maintainers. The URL for the Cross-LFS bug
