  Aioe.org Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Tar was originally intended for use with magnetic tape but, though it has several command line options related to tape, it is now used more often for packaging files together on other media, e.g.
The resulting archive, a "tar file" (humourously, "tarball") is often compressed, using gzip or some other form of compression (see tar and feather).
Tarring.] To smear with tar, or as with tar; as, to tar ropes; to tar cloth.

 TAR archive file format
If an archived file has a size in bytes which is not divideable by 512 without rest, as many bytes as missing to the next 512 byte boundary are added to fill up that last block.
A file that is 513 bytes large thus occupies 512 bytes for the header, 513 bytes for the file's data, and 511 additional bytes so that the file content will be a multiple of 512 bytes (in this case, 1024 bytes).
GNU tar (implementation of the tar utility in C).

 Definition of Tar file format
It is used widely to archive and unarchive files, which means to accumulate a large collection of files into a single archive file (packer), while preserving file system information such as user and group permissions, dates, and directory structures.
The file data is written unaltered except that its length is rounded up to a multiple of 512 bytes and the extra space is zero filled.
To overcome this limitation some versions of tar, including the GNU implementation, support an extension in which the file size is encoded in binary.

Some file formats were not released by their creators, others are regarded as proprietary, which means that if your programs deal with them, you might be looking for trouble.
Each file archived is represented by a header record which describes the file, followed by zero or more records which give the contents of the file.
When special permissions are required to create a file with a given mode, and the user restoring files from the archive does not hold such permissions, the mode bit(s) specifying those special permissions are ignored.

 .tar.gz file format FAQ
Under Unix, tar archives are the most common means of distributing bundles of files, and gzip is the most common compression program.
The file extraction from the decompressed archive would be done using tar.
A nice feature of GNU tar is the ability to specify compression and decompression on the command line using the "-z" option, which causes GNU tar to automatically invoke GNU zip.

 tar -- format of tar archives
Table 1 shows the format of the header block for a file, in the older UNIX-compatible TAR format.
The chksum field is a checksum of all the bytes in the header, assuming that the chksum field itself is all blanks.
In USTAR format, the uname and gname fields contain the name of the owner and group of the file respectively.

 [ACL-Devel] tar file format?
Another choice would be to use regular file records with identical filename for both, and recognize the difference by another special value (such as a date stamp in 1970).
We would need to prepend these special blocks for files, but append them to directories in tar archives so that older tars don't puke.
As a workaround, a simple tar filter that discards unknown file types should be easy to write.

 "nfsv4@ietf.org": RE: tar for NFS V4
I would think that XML could be used, either to construct one DTD for the superset of all possible file system attributes, or a format where the DTD was included such that all metadata encoded in the "tar+" file bu the originating file system could be decoded.
Translation into a different file system is a different issue, in some cases attributes may not be translatable.
To me, the most important thing here is to be able to store the meaning of the attributes in the source file system with the actual encoded attributes and the data.

Prepending for filenames may be satisfactory, but a user has just extracted a directory that is marked r-x, they'll still see a perplexing error message.

 Perl - CompWisdom
Perl is implemented as a core interpreter, written in C, together with a large collection of modules, written in Perl and C. The source distribution is, as of 2005, 12 MB when packaged in a tar file and compressed.
Perl was created to solve those problems that were caused by real and artificial stupidity -- file formats created by morons, log files that were almost completely useless, idiotic incompatibilities between programs, etc...
There are a few other files named this way, in the clipart package, and I want to know how to deal with them, so they will load in Perl.

 Install Vista from different partition? - Neowin Forums
Would it be possible to copy the files from the dvd onto a different partition, and then install from there doing a clean install?
Awesome! The reason I asked is because all I have is dvd-r and my work laptop is a dvd+r drive, arghgh.
So then after a while I figured out that for some reason when you format a partition smaller than the drive size, you get this message!! So I tried and it worked - when you see you hdd in raw format, just click next and Vista will do the rest.
