TAR

Hi all,
This is a port of GNU tar 1.11.2 for MiNT and minix file-systems.
The program has been compiled using gcc 2.4.5 and the mintlibs pl34.
Stacksize has been set to 16 Kb; it may need to be increased.
The sources can be found at prep.ai.mit.edu; the diffs for the sources are
included in the file `diffs'. The Makefile I used is also included.
Main changes since the previous version are:
- Support for `gzip' instead of `compress'
- No more complaints about failed changes to access times for directories
Good luck, and send bug-reports to:

Nuchoose one of the following:
-A, --catenate,
--concatenate append tar files to an archive
-c, --create create a new archive
-d, --diff,
--compare find differences between archive and file system
--delete delete from the archive (not for use on mag tapes!)
-r, --append append files to the end of an archive
-t, --list list the contents of an archive
-u, --update only append files that are newer than copy in archive
-x, --extract,
--get extract files from an archive
Other options:
--atime-preserve don't change access times on dumped files
-b, --block-size N block size of Nx512 bytes (default N=%d)
-B, --read-full-blocks reblock as we read (for reading 4.2BSD pipes)
-C, --directory DIR change to directory DIR
--checkpoint print directory names while reading the archive
-f, --file [HOSTNAME:]F use archive file or device F (default %s)
--force-local archive file is local even if has a colon
-F, --info-script F
--new-volume-script F run script at end of each tape (implies -M)
-G, --incremental create/list/extract old GNU-format incremental backup
-g, --listed-incremental F create/list/extract new GNU-format incremental backup
-h, --dereference don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
-i, --ignore-zeros ignore blocks of zeros in archive (normally mean EOF)
--ignore-failed-read don't exit with non-zero status on unreadable files
-k, --keep-old-files keep existing files; don't overwrite them from archive
-K, --starting-file F begin at file F in the archive
-l, --one-file-system stay in local file system when creating an archive
-L, --tape-length N change tapes after writing N*1024 bytes
-m, --modification-time don't extract file modified time
-M, --multi-volume create/list/extract multi-volume archive
-N, --after-date DATE,
--newer DATE only store files newer than DATE
-o, --old-archive,
--portability write a V7 format archive, rather than ANSI format
-O, --to-stdout extract files to standard output
-p, --same-permissions,
--preserve-permissions extract all protection information
-P, --absolute-paths don't strip leading `/'s from file names
--preserve like -p -s
-R, --record-number show record number within archive with each message
--remove-files remove files after adding them to the archive
-s, --same-order,
--preserve-order list of names to extract is sorted to match archive
--same-owner create extracted files with the same ownership
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-T, --files-from F get names to extract or create from file F
--null -T reads null-terminated names, disable -C
--totals print total bytes written with --create
-v, --verbose verbosely list files processed
-V, --label NAME create archive with volume name NAME
--version print tar program version number
-w, --interactive,
--confirmation ask for confirmation for every action
-W, --verify attempt to verify the archive after writing it
--exclude FILE exclude file FILE
-X, --exclude-from FILE exclude files listed in FILE
-Z, --compress,
--uncompress filter the archive through compress
-z, --gzip,
--ungzip filter the archive through gzip
--use-compress-program PROG
filter the archive through PROG (which must accept -d)
--block-compress block the output of compression program for tapes
-[0-7][lmh] specify drive and density
