DESCRIPTION
       Star is a tar like archiver. TAR stands for Tape ARchiver. Star is the
       fastest known implementation of a tar archiver.

       Features:

       - FIFO to keep the tape streaming.

       - remote tape support.

       - accurate sparse files (if the OS supports it).

       - pattern matcher to archive and extract a subset of files.

       - user tailorable interface for comparing tar archives against file
	  trees.

       - path names up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.

       - stores and restores all 3 file times (even creation time). With
       POSIX.1-2001 the times are in nanosecond granularity.
