-star - unique standard tape archiver
-
-star is a very fast tar(1) like tape archiver with improved functionality.
-star includes the first free implementation of POSIX.1-2001 extended tar
-headers, is built on top of libfind, includes a sophisticated diff command,
-and has no limitation on filename length.
-star automatically recognizes standard archive formats and non-standard
-formats, such as gnu, by their deviations from the standard. Star is able
-to archive and restore Access Control Lists for files using POSIX.1-2001
-extended headers.
-
-It is recommended to build star using smake
-(http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/smake.html)
-
-star installs under /opt/schily/ with other schily applications. Symlinks will
-be created for gnutar, suntar, tar, and several others, so those can be used at
-the command-line in favour of their GNU counterparts by modifying the order of
-of PATH entries.
