-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-This manual page documents the GNU version of
-.B tar
-, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from
-an archive file known as a
-.IR tarfile.
-A
-.IR tarfile
-may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
-to write a
-.IR tarfile
-to a normal file.
-The first argument to
-.B tar
-must be one of the options:
-.BR Acdrtux ,
-followed by any optional functions.
-The final arguments to
-.B tar
-are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use
-of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be
-included in the archive.

-.TP
-.B tar -xvvf foo.tar
-extract foo.tar

-.B tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz
-extract gzipped foo.tar.gz

-.SH BUGS
-.LP
-The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
-The maintainer of tar falls into this category. This man page is neither
-complete, nor current, and was included in the Debian Linux packaging of tar
-entirely to reduce the frequency with which the lack of a man page gets
-reported as a bug in our defect tracking system.
-
-If you really want to understand tar, then you should run info and read the
-tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs.
