NAME
       gettar, lstar, puttar - tar archive utilities

SYNOPSIS
       gettar [ -k ] [ -v ] [ -R ] [ name ...  ]
       lstar
       puttar [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       These commands manage POSIX.1 tar archives in Inferno.

       Gettar  reads  a	 tar file from standard input and unpacks the contents
       into the current directory tree.	 By default, gettar converts  absolute
       path  names,  including	names starting with into names relative to the
       current directory; the -R option extracts such  names  as-is.   The  -k
       option tells gettar to keep existing files rather than overwriting them
       with files from the archive.  The -v option causes gettar to  print  on
       standard	 error	the names of files extracted.  Finally, listing one or
       more names as arguments will extract only those files.

       Lstar reads a tar file from standard input and  lists  the  files  con‐
       tained  therein,	 one per line, with four space-separated fields giving
       the file name, modification time (in seconds since the epoch), size (in
       bytes), and a constant 0 (the place holder for a checksum).  The format
       is the same as that produced by du -n -t.

       Puttar writes a tar file to standard output that	 contains  each	 file,
       and  its substructure if it is a directory.  Given no arguments, puttar
       instead reads a list of file names from	standard  input	 and  includes
       each file or directory named; it does not copy directory substructure.

EXAMPLE
       The  following  commands	 create	 a  tar file with two files test.b and
       srv.b:

	      $ cat tarlist
	      test.b
	      srv.b
	      $ puttar <tarlist >test.tar
	      $ lstar <test.tar
	      test.b 867178082 1104 0
	      srv.b 866042662 3865 0
