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