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