Hans-G?nter@25345 | 1 GNU Tar provides the ability to create tar archives, |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 2 as well as various other kinds of manipulation. |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 3 For example, you can use Tar on previously created |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 4 archives to extract files, to store additional files, |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 5 or to update or list files which were already stored. |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 6 |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 7 Initially, tar archives were used to store files |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 8 conveniently on magnetic tape. |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 9 The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 10 tape archiver. |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 11 Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 12 output to available devices, files, or other programs |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 13 (using pipes), it can even access remote devices or |
Hans-G?nter@25345 | 14 files (as archives). |
