NAME

itar - indexed TAR creator/extractor

SYNOPSIS

itar -t [-i INDEXFILE] TARFILE
itar -c [-i INDEXFILE] TARFILE FILES
itar [-i INDEXFILE] [-k KEY | -o OFFSET] TARFILE FILES...

DESCRIPTION

itar is an indexed TAR creator/extractor. If used without -t nor -c options, FILES are extracted from TARFILE. You can seek by a KEY or by an OFFSET, elsewhere each file itself is seeked. Manual seeking (with -k or -o) is just for debugging

OPTIONS

TARFILE: specify the .tar.bz2 tarball.
-t list member files of TARFILE.
-c create TARFILE, adding FILES to it.
-i INDEXFILE: specify the index file. If this option is not used, TARFILE.i is assumed.
-k KEY specify KEY.
-o OFFSET: specify OFFSET.
