The tardy program is a tar post-processor. It may be used to manipulate the
|
|
file headers in tar archive files in various ways.
|
|
|
|
The reason the tardy program was written was because the author wanted to
|
|
"spruce up" tar files before posting them to the net, mostly to remove
|
|
artifacts of the development environment, without introducing more.
|
|
|
|
The tardy program was designed to allow you to alter certain characteristics
|
|
of files after they have been included in the tar file. Among them are:
|
|
* change file owner (by number or name)
|
|
* change file group (by number or name)
|
|
* add directory prefix (e.g. dot)
|
|
* change file protections (e.g. from 600 to 644)
|
|
|
|
Note that all of these affect ALL files in the archive.
