Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Star is a tar like archiver. TAR stands for Tape ARchiver. Star is the fastest known implementation of a tar archiver. Features: - FIFO to keep the tape streaming. - remote tape support. - accurate sparse files (if the OS supports it). - pattern matcher to archive and extract a subset of files. - user tailorable interface for comparing tar archives against file trees. - path names up to 1024 Bytes may be archived. - stores and restores all 3 file times (even creation time). With POSIX.1-2001 the times are in nanosecond granularity.
