-.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.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.TP
-.B tar -xvvf foo.tar
-extract foo.tar
-.TP
-.B tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz
-extract gzipped foo.tar.gz
-.TP
-.B tar -cvvf foo.tar foo/
-tar contents of folder foo in foo.tar

+is not specified.
+The backup suffix defaults to `~' if neither is specified.

+.It Ev TAPE
