 Description: GNU version of the tar archiving utility
  Tar is a program for packaging a set of files as a single archive in tar
  format.  The function it performs is conceptually similar to cpio, and to
  things like PKZIP in the DOS world.  It is heavily used by the Debian package
  management system, and is useful for performing system backups and exchanging
  sets of files with others.
