Main advantages over other tar implementations:
|
|
fifo - Keeps the tape streaming.
|
|
pattern matcher - For a convenient user interface.
|
|
sophisticated diff - User tailorable interface for comparing tar
|
|
archives against file trees.
|
|
no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.
|
|
deals with all 3 times - Stores/restores all 3 times of a file.
|
|
does not clobber files - More recent copies on disk will not be
|
|
clobbered from tape.
|
|
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives.
|
|
automatic format detect - Automatically detects archive formats:
|
|
old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
|
|
