     314.Sh ENVIRONMENT
     315The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,
     316among others:
     317.Bl -tag -width Ds
     318.It Ev SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX
     319Backup prefix to use when extracting, if
     320.Fl \-suffix
     321is not specified.
     322The backup suffix defaults to `~' if neither is specified.
     323.It Ev TAR_OPTIONS
     324Options to prepend to those specified on the command line, separated by
     325whitespace.  Embedded backslashes may be used to escape whitespace or
     326backslashes within an option.
     327.It Ev TAPE
     328Device or file to use for the archive if
     329.Fl \-file
     330is not specified.
     331If this environment variable is unset, use stdin or stdout instead.

     355command appeared in

     357.Sh BUGS
     358The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
     359Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with
     360invariant cover texts, which makes it impossible to include any text
     361from that document in this man page.
     362Most of the text in this document was automatically extracted from the usage
     363text in the source.
     364It may not completely describe all features of the program.
