29 manipulates amanda archive file\&. On creation, amarchiver doesn\'t recurse into directories\&. If a filename specifies a directory, it will be ignored\&. If it specifies a character device, amarchiver reads the device and archives the data\&. If a filename specifies a named pipe, amarchiver reads the named pipe and archives the data\&.
31 Note that this tool is more limited than the Amanda archive library, and may not be appropriate for some archive files \-\- particularly those which use non\-strings in their filenames\&.
36 print the amarchiver version
41 Create an amanda archive\&. Only the supplied filenames are included\&. With one
42 \fB\-\-verbose\fR, lists the filenames\&. With two, lists the filenames and sizes\&.
47 List the filenames in an amanda archive\&. No additional filenames are allowed on the command line\&.
52 Extract an amanda archive\&. If filenames are supplied, only those files are extracted\&. Files are created in the current directory, suffixed with a dot (\'\&.\') and the attribute ID\&.
57 Give more information\&.
62 Create, list or extract from the given file instead of stdin/stdout\&.
