Star is the fastest known implementation of a tar archiver.
Main advantages over other tar implementations:
fifo - Keeps the tape streaming.
pattern matcher - For a convenient user interface.
sophisticated diff - User tailorable interface for comparing tar
archives against file trees.
no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.
deals with all 3 times - Stores/restores all 3 times of a file.
does not clobber files - More recent copies on disk will not be
clobbered from tape.
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives.
automatic format detect - Automatically detects archive formats:
old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
fully ansi compatible - star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.
