| 31 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 32 | .PP
|
|---|
| 33 | \fITar\fR is a POSIX-compatible archiver, except that it does not use tape.
|
|---|
| 34 | It's primary advantage over
|
|---|
| 35 | .I ar
|
|---|
| 36 | is that the
|
|---|
| 37 | .I tar
|
|---|
| 38 | format is somewhat more standardized than the
|
|---|
| 39 | .I ar
|
|---|
| 40 | format, making it theoretically possible to transport
|
|---|
| 41 | \s-1MINIX 3\s-1
|
|---|
| 42 | files to another computer, but do not bet on it.
|
