Star +star is the fastest known implementation of a tar archiver. star development started 1982, development is still in progress. The current version is stable. Main advantages over other tar implementations: - fifo - keeps the tape streaming. - pattern matcher - for a convenient user interface - sophisticated diff - user tailorable interface for comparing tar - archives against file trees + fifo - Keeps the tape streaming. + pattern matcher - For a convenient user interface. + sophisticated diff - User tailorable interface for comparing tar + archives against file trees. no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived. - deals with all 3 times - stores/restores all 3 times of a file - does not clobber files - more recent copies on disk will not be - clobbered from tape - automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives - automatic format detect - automatically detects archive formats: - Old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star. - fully ansi compatible - Star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible. + deals with all 3 times - Stores/restores all 3 times of a file. + does not clobber files - More recent copies on disk will not be + clobbered from tape. + automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives. + automatic format detect - Automatically detects archive formats: + old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star. + fully ansi compatible - star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.
