NAME
       tartest - test tar archive for POSIX.1-1990 compliance

SYNOPSIS
       tartest [ options ] < file

DESCRIPTION
       Tartest reads a tar archive from stdin and checks this archive for com‐
       pliance with POSIX.1-1990.

OPTIONS
       All options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

       -help  Print a short help message.

       -v     print all filenames during verification.

ENVIRONMENT
       none

FILES
       none

NOTES
       As tartest is limited to tests the data that is delivered  by  the  tar
       archiver	 that  is  going  to  be  checked,  it cannot tests if the tar
       archiver in question will produce correct archives  under  all  circum‐
       stances.	 There	may  be	 borderline cases that trigger bugs in the tar
       archiver.

       If you like to to a more complete test, you should have a look  at  the
       file  READE.quicktest  in  the directory testscripts of either the star
       distribution or the ftp server.
