1 Introduction
GNU tar creates
and manipulates archives which are actually collections of
many other files; the program provides users with an organized and
systematic method for controlling a large amount of data.
The name “tar” originally came from the phrase “Tape ARchive”, but
archives need not (and these days, typically do not) reside on tapes.
