* bsdtar always supports long options now, so we can removeTim Kientzle2008-12-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | a documentation disclaimer. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=185687
* New command-line parser for bsdtar.Tim Kientzle2008-11-081-25/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the getopt()/getopt_long() wrapper, the old-style argument rewriter and the associated configuration glue with a more straightforward custom command parser. In particular, this ensures that bsdtar will have consistent option parsing on every platform, regardless of whether the platform supports getopt_long().

* - Fix mtree example so it works.Simon L. B. Nielsen2008-07-261-0/+7

* MFp4: bsdtar 2.5.4bTim Kientzle2008-05-261-2/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes: * --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract) * -S (sparsify files on extraction) * -s (regex filename substitutions) * Use new libarchive 'linkify' to get correct hardlink handling for both old and new cpio formats * Rework 'copy' test to be insensitive to readdir() filename ordering Most of the credit for this work goes to Joerg Sonnenberger, who has been duplicating features from NetBSD's 'pax' program. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=179322
* Add --keep-newer-files option (as in GNU tar: When in -x mode, ignoreColin Percival2008-05-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | files if the existing file is newer than the archive entry). Currently if any files are ignored, bsdtar will exit with a non-zero exit status; this is likely to change in the future, but requires some API changes in libarchive. Discussed with: kientzle Obtained from: tarsnap Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=179072
* Documentation updates:Tim Kientzle2008-05-021-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | * --format can be used with -r or -u * -o is a synonym for --format=ustar when used with -c, -r, or -u Also, fix the erroneous sanity check that suppressed --format with -r or -u. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=178717

* Support -q (from NetBSD) as a synonym for --fast-read (the old FreeBSDTim Kientzle2008-03-151-9/+9

* Enable and document the -Z option for selecting "compress" compression,Tim Kientzle2008-03-151-0/+10

* Make -l always have the SUSv2 meaning of "check links."Tim Kientzle2008-01-221-17/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | GNU tar changed -l to match SUSv2 a couple of years ago, so bsdtar no longer needs to pander to this particular GNUism. Thanks to: Debian maintainers MFC after: 7 days Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=175558

* Remove the -B option from the directory-copying examples. The -BTim Kientzle2005-12-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | option is undocumented because it does nothing. It does nothing because bsdtar never needs it. It is accepted because gnutar does sometimes need it and many scripts use it. Reported by: Pawel Jakub Dawidek Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=153258

* gtar uses -F for another purpose, so bsdtar no longer treats it as aTim Kientzle2004-08-081-16/+13
| | | | | | | | | synonym for --format. Update the man page to reflect this. While I'm here, change the man page to document "tar" rather than "bsdtar," update some comments about -l compatibility and fix a few grammar nits. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=133331
* GNU and POSIX disagree about -o and -l.Tim Kientzle2004-08-031-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For -l, upset everyone by breaking it. Specifically, -l now produces a lengthy error message that suggests --check-links (POSIX -l) or --one-file-system (GNU -l) instead. However, if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, use the POSIX interpretation. For -o, please everyone by making it work both ways: * -xo uses POSIX behavior * -co uses "almost GNU" behavior (as close as we can get until libarchive implements a true V7 tar format) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=133053
* Correct the explanation of the -X option.Tim Kientzle2004-08-011-3/+5

* Rename C=dir to -C dir, which is what people expect.Tim Kientzle2004-06-261-32/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This requires some non-trivial surgery to the options parsing. While here, let people who only have getopt() access long options through the -W longopt=value convention. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=131156
* Oops: gtar's --dereference should be a synonym for bsdtar's -L, not -H.Tim Kientzle2004-06-111-2/+2

* The --include='pattern' option is the natural counterpart toTim Kientzle2004-06-071-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | --exclude='pattern'. I should have added this a long time ago, since it's so useful for testing. In particular, it allows me to select a few entries from a troublesome archive so that I can easily focus my debugging efforts: bsdtar -czf new.tgz --include='*foo*' @old.tgz Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=130171
* Correction: -h should be a synonym for -L, not -H.Tim Kientzle2004-05-311-1/+1
