NAME¶
mxtar - Wrapper for using GNU tar directly from a floppy disk
SYNOPSIS¶
mxtar [
- ]
[ tar-options ] file
DESCRIPTION¶
mxtar let you use GNU
tar(1) on a floppy disk without mounting it
using
mtools(1). It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux,
because the GNU
tar(1) program provides the same capability after
copying the file locally with
mcopy file destination
but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and is
retained here for completeness.
