+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tar
+.Nd The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+$command_string
+.Op Ar options
+.Op Ar pathname ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Tar
+stores and extracts files from a tape or disk archive.
+.Pp
+The first argument to
+tar
+should be a function; either one of the letters
+.Cm $short_letters ,
+or one of the long function names.
+A function letter need not be prefixed with ``\\-'', and may be combined
+with other single-letter options.
+A long function name must be prefixed with
+.Cm \\\\-\\\\- .
+Some options take a parameter; with the single-letter form
+these must be given as separate arguments.
+With the long form, they may be given by appending
+.Cm = Ns Ar value
+to the option.
+.Sh FUNCTION LETTERS
+Main operation mode:
+$function_letters
+.Sh OTHER OPTIONS
+Operation modifiers:
+$option_letters
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,
+among others:
+$env_variables
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+$examples
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.\\" libarchive
+.Xr tar 5 ,
+.\\" man-pages
+.Xr symlink 7 ,
+.Xr rmt 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm tar
+command appeared in
+.At v7 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
+Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with
+invariant cover texts, which makes it impossible to include any text
+from that document in this man page.
+Most of the text in this document was automatically extracted from the usage
+text in the source.
+It may not completely describe all features of the program.
