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