* Point users to tcsh(1) for information about shell globbing patterns,murray2005-04-191-1/+2
| | | | | | rather than 'XXXX'. MFC after: 1 week
* Add directory hierarchy copying example.obrien2005-03-281-0/+7

* Add --newer-ctime, --newer-mtime, --newer-ctime-than, and --newer-mtime-thankientzle2005-03-131-0/+29
| | | | | | | switches to support selecting files by time of modification. Special thanks to: Steven M. Bellovin, Rich $alz, and Jim Berets, authors of the public-domain getdate.y date-parsing code.
* Add --strip-components option, per bin/77666.kientzle2005-03-131-0/+6
| | | | Thanks to: Sangwoo Shim
* Document the --null, --one-file-system, and -I options.kientzle2005-02-181-5/+34
| | | | Clarify that -T can be used in 'x' mode as well as 'c' mode.
* Sort sections.ru2005-01-181-52/+52

* Added the EXIT STATUS section where appropriate.ru2005-01-171-1/+1

* Document the -O option's new behavior in the presence of -t.kientzle2004-08-271-2/+4
| | | | MFC after: 3 days
* gtar uses -F for another purpose, so bsdtar no longer treats it as akientzle2004-08-081-16/+13
| | | | | | synonym for --format. Update the man page to reflect this. While I'm here, change the man page to document "tar" rather than "bsdtar," update some comments about -l compatibility and fix a few grammar nits.
* GNU and POSIX disagree about -o and -l.kientzle2004-08-031-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | For -l, upset everyone by breaking it. Specifically, -l now produces a lengthy error message that suggests --check-links (POSIX -l) or --one-file-system (GNU -l) instead. However, if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, use the POSIX interpretation. For -o, please everyone by making it work both ways: * -xo uses POSIX behavior * -co uses "almost GNU" behavior (as close as we can get until libarchive implements a true V7 tar format)
* Correct the explanation of the -X option.kientzle2004-08-011-3/+5
| | | | Thanks to: Pav Lucistnik
* Of course, I meant POSIX.1-1996, not 1997.kientzle2004-07-251-1/+1
| | | | Thanks to: Andrey Chernov
* My bad: /dev/sa0, no 'r'kientzle2004-07-211-1/+1
| | | | Thanks (and many apologies) to: Cristoph Mallon
* Fix some misspellings, document the TAPE environmentkientzle2004-07-191-2/+16
| | | | variable and the default tape device.
* Fixed cross-references in SEE ALSO.ru2004-07-041-1/+1
| | | | Emininated double space and hard sentence breaks.
* Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks.ru2004-07-021-1/+2

* Document the -W convention for accessing long options.kientzle2004-06-261-9/+15
| | | | Also correct an old error: there was no tar command in Sixth Edition.
* Rename C=dir to -C dir, which is what people expect.kientzle2004-06-261-32/+7
| | | | | | | This requires some non-trivial surgery to the options parsing. While here, let people who only have getopt() access long options through the -W longopt=value convention.
* Oops: gtar's --dereference should be a synonym for bsdtar's -L, not -H.kientzle2004-06-111-2/+2
| | | | | Pointed out by: devel/nspr port Thanks to: Kris Kennaway
* The --include='pattern' option is the natural counterpart tokientzle2004-06-071-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | --exclude='pattern'. I should have added this a long time ago, since it's so useful for testing. In particular, it allows me to select a few entries from a troublesome archive so that I can easily focus my debugging efforts: bsdtar -czf new.tgz --include='*foo*' @old.tgz
* Correction: -h should be a synonym for -L, not -H.kientzle2004-05-311-1/+1
| | | | (as specified by Linux Standards Base, GNU tar, and 4.4BSD documentation)
* Update manpage to track new security features.kientzle2004-05-171-28/+125
|
* -U is now implemented. (It's been recognized by bsdtar for a while;kientzle2004-04-291-1/+4
| | | | now libarchive actually supports the underlying request.)
* Remove information about specific formats; replace with akientzle2004-04-281-64/+4
| | | | reference to libarchive-formats(5).
* Manpage changes suggested by Irina Liakh.kientzle2004-04-131-19/+44
| | | | Also, add -h as a synonym for -H, for Linux Standards Base compliance.
* Allow arguments to appear in any order.kientzle2004-04-081-8/+9
| | | | | | | | While I'm here, add a couple of extra sanity-checks to the argument parsing (reject -j -z, for instance) and update the docs a bit. Requested by: most everyone ;-)
* Document the newly-implemented -T option.kientzle2004-04-081-2/+10

* Initial commit for bsdtar.kientzle2004-04-051-0/+577
