2001-10-25Make -h and -L follow symlinks on extraction of directories.Niklas Hallqvist
This means that existing symbolic links won't get overwritten with a directory, but instead the directory is created/updated with the privs from the archive at the end of the symlink chain. Great for unpacking OpenBSD release tarballs, where you have linked away stuff due to lack of space on a certain partition etc.

2001-05-01Remove completely redundant introductory sentences in ENVIRONMENT sections.Aaron Campbell
2001-02-10Replace -T flag with more standard -I flag and make it work as a standardTodd C. Miller
argument (and thus work as in the 'packed' option form) as well as a positional argument. Our -T flag was basically equivalent to -I but different from gnutar's -T so -T gets thrown out.

1998-12-02cleanup/update synopsisAaron Campbell
1998-11-06use .Dq/.Sq macros instead of `` ''s and ` 's (think typesetting and futureAaron Campbell

1998-09-14First complete sweep of man pages, bin/. Command/function names previouslyAaron Campbell
(incorrectly) capatilized are fixed. Comma splices, hyphenations, SYNOPSIS cleanups, other miscellaneous typos.
1998-03-31only preserve uid/gid if -p. This is unlike traditional tar but more like gtarTodd C. Miller
1998-03-03Correct -x and -p flags to be more like traditional tar and makeTodd C. Miller
the man page reflect reality. The -p flag only preserves the file mode (irrespective of umask) if possible. The -x flag tries to set user/group, mtime, and mode.

but complain about non-portability if > 32256 bytes. Brought up by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>
1997-04-05Strip leading '/' of pathnames (only in tar mode). -S option turnsTodd C. Miller
this off like GNU tar.
1997-04-04Improvements based on commets by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>Todd C. Miller
- ``tar cf'' will now just exit instead of waiting for a file list on stdin. The old behavior should be re-enabled with an option. - Better wording in tar man page for -o and -w
1997-03-26Note that default blocking factor is 20.Todd C. Miller
1997-03-26Blocking factor in tar is in 512byte blocks. Makes -b act likeTodd C. Miller
