* Package name    : star
  Version         : 1.5.1
  Upstream Author : Jörg Schilling <joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de>

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : star version of the tar archiving utility

Star saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive,
and can restore individual files from the archive. It includes a FIFO
for speed, a pattern matcher, multivolume support, the ability to correctly 
archive sparse files, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives
and special features that allow star to be used for full backups. it includes
a built in find(1) command that allows to execute find(1) expressions.
It also includes `rmt', a truly portable version of the remote tape server
that supports remote operation between different OS and machine architectures
(hides even Linux oddities) and a portable `mt' tape drive control program
that is able to use the remote tape interface.



It has the advantage over GNU tar, that it supports ACLs/XATTRs.
Also, it may be useful to be able to write tar files in the star format.
GNU tar can only read them.


Cheers,
Chris.
