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