.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Ftar
|
|
wraps and unwraps frozen
|
|
.IR tarchives ,
|
|
archives made with
|
|
.IR tar (1).
|
|
These archives end in the characters
|
|
.B .tar.F
|
|
and are commonly used
|
|
sending and receiving directories over the
|
|
internet with
|
|
.IR ftp (1).
|
|
If invoked as
|
|
.IR ztar ,
|
|
.I compress
|
|
is used instead of
|
|
.I freeze
|
|
and the archive names end in
|
|
.BR .tar.Z .
|
|
.PP
|
|
With no options,
|
|
.I ftar
|
|
assumes that the specified files are directories, and invokes
|
|
tar and freeze (compress) on each of them to produce individual
|
|
frozen (compressed) tarchives.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
option, when tarchives are specified, will cause
|
|
.I ftar
|
|
to invoke melt (uncompress) and tar in order to
|
|
.I unwrap
|
|
an archive. If this option is specified and no files are listed,
|
|
.I ftar
|
|
will unwrap from
|
|
.B stdin.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The maximum number of bits can be specified with
|
|
.BR \-b ,
|
|
for the benefit of 16-bit cpu's.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When finished wrapping or unwrapping, the user will be asked
|
|
whether the source directory or tarchive should be removed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
option is used, a verbose table of contents of the specified
|
|
frozen (compressed)
|
|
tarchives is listed with
|
|
.IR "tar\ -tv" .
