71 The Tar program provides the ability to create tar archives, as
72 well as various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you
73 can use Tar on previously created archives to extract files, to
74 store additional files, or to update or list files which were
75 already stored.
76
77 Initially, tar archives were used to store files conveniently on
78 magnetic tape. The name "Tar" comes from this use; it stands
79 for tape archiver. Despite the utility's name, Tar can direct
80 its output to available devices, files, or other programs (using
81 pipes), it can even access remote devices or files (as
82 archives).
