=== History ===
 +
A tar command appeared in Seventh Edition Unix, which was released in January, 1979.  It replaced the tp program from Fourth Edition Unix which in turn replaced the tap program from First Edition Unix.  [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q105228041 John Gilmore's pdtar] public-domain implementation ([https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tar.git/tree/src/tar.c circa 1985]) was highly influential and formed the basis of [[GNU tar]] (circa 1988).  Joerg Shilling's star archiver is another free software (CDDL) archiver (originally developed circa 1985) which features complete support for pax interchange format.

It includes command line interfaces for "tar", "Sun-Tar", "cpio", "pax", and "gnutar". It includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability to archive sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive extended file flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives, and special features that let it be used for full and incremental backups.
