     315.El
     316.Sh ENVIRONMENT
     317The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,
     318among others:
     319.Bl -tag -width Ds
     320.It Ev SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX
     321Backup prefix to use when extracting, if
     322.Fl \-suffix
     323is not specified.
     324The backup suffix defaults to `~' if neither is specified.
     325.It Ev TAR_OPTIONS
     326Options to prepend to those specified on the command line, separated by
     327whitespace.  Embedded backslashes may be used to escape whitespace or
     328backslashes within an option.
     329.It Ev TAPE
     330Device or file to use for the archive if
     331.Fl \-file
     332is not specified.
     333If this environment variable is unset, use stdin or stdout instead.

     357command appeared in

     359.Sh BUGS
     360The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
     361Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with
     362invariant cover texts, which makes it impossible to include any text
     363from that document in this man page.
     364Most of the text in this document was automatically extracted from the usage
     365text in the source.
     366It may not completely describe all features of the program.
