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