     1.4 +GNU Tar provides the ability to create tar archives,
     1.5 +as well as various other kinds of manipulation.
     1.6 +For example, you can use Tar on previously created
     1.7 +archives to extract files, to store additional files,
     1.8 +or to update or list files which were already stored.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +Initially, tar archives were used to store files
    1.11 +conveniently on magnetic tape.
    1.12 +The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands for
    1.13 +tape archiver.
    1.14 +Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct its
    1.15 +output to available devices, files, or other programs
    1.16 +(using pipes), it can even access remote devices or
    1.17 +files (as archives).
