                     10: saves and restores local files
                     11: on/from remote magnetic tape. It is a network version of tar and

                     13: (i.e., "-" after key f).
                     14: Files retrieved from the tape are transferred to local host where the command
                     15: is initiated.  Files intended to be saved on remote tape are
                     16: transferred from local host to remote
                     17: host and then written to the archive mounted on that (remote) host.

                     26: must be one of the official names 
                     27: in 
                     28: .I /etc/hosts
