TARTEST(1)		     Schily's USER COMMANDS		      TARTEST(1)

NAME
     tartest - test tar archive for POSIX.1-1990 compliance

SYNOPSIS
     tartest [ options ] < file

DESCRIPTION
     Tartest  reads a tar archive from stdin and checks this archive for compli-
     ance with POSIX.1-1990.

OPTIONS
     All options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

     -help  Print a short help message.

     -v     print all filenames during verification.

NOTES
     As tartest is limited to tests the  data  that  is  delivered  by	the  tar
     archiver  that  is going to be checked, it cannot tests if the tar archiver
     in question will produce correct archives under  all  circumstances.  There
     may be borderline cases that trigger bugs in the tar archiver.

     If  you like to to a more complete test, you should have a look at the file
     READE.quicktest in the directory testscripts of either the  star  distribu-
     tion or the ftp server.
