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.
