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 com-
       pliance 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 circum-
       stances.	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
       distribution or the ftp server.
