                     15: uussttaarr  reads  and  writes  archive  files  that  conform  to  the
                     16: Archive/Interchange  File  Format   specified  in  IEEE  Standard
                     17: 1003.1-1988.

                     19: ***** Options *****
                     20: 
                     21: uussttaarr recognizes the following command-line options:
                     22: 
                     23: -cc   Create  a  new  archive.  Write  each  _f_i_l_e  into the  newly
                     24:      created archive
                     25: 
                     26: -rr   Append each _f_i_l_e to the end of the archive.
                     27: 
                     28: -tt   Display a directory (table of contents) of the archive.
                     29: 
                     30: -xx   Extract  each _f_i_l_e  from  the archive.   If  _f_i_l_e matches  a
                     31:      directory whose contents  had been written onto the archive,
                     32:      extract that directory  recursively.  If _f_i_l_e does not exist
                     33:      on the  system, uussttaarr creates  it with the same  mode as the
                     34:      one  in the  archive, except that  the set-user-id  and get-
                     35:      group-id  modes  are not  set  unless  you have  appropriate
                     36:      privileges.
                     37: 
                     38:      If _f_i_l_e  exists, uussttaarr does not change  file modes except as
                     39:      described above.  It  restores the owner, the group, and the
                     40:      modification time if possible.
                     41: 
                     42:      If the command line does not name a _f_i_l_e, uussttaarr extracts the
                     43:      entire contents of  the archive.  Note that if several files
                     44:      with  the  same  name  are  in  the archive,  the  last  one
                     45:      overwrites all earlier ones.
                     46: 
                     47: -ff   Use the next argument on the command line as the name of the
                     48:      archive instead  of the default, which  is standard input or
                     49:      standard  output, whichever is  appropriate for  the options
                     50:      given.  Thus,  you can use uussttaarr in a  pipe.  If you specify
                     51:      `-'  as the  archive  name with  option -ff,  uussttaarr uses  the
                     52:      default input and output streams.
                     53: 
                     54: -ll   Order uussttaarr to report if  it cannot resolve all of the links
                     55:      to the  files being  archived.  If  -ll is not  specified, no
                     56:      error  messages are  written to  the standard  output.  This
                     57:      modifier is valid only with the -cc or -rr options.
                     58: 
                     59: -mm   Do not restore  the modification times; set the modification
                     60:      time of  the file to the time  of extraction.  This modifier
                     61:      is invalid with the -tt option.
                     62:

                     70: 
                     71: 
                     72: 
                     73: 
                     74: -oo   Give extracted files your user and group identifiers, rather
                     75:      than those on the archive.  This modifier is only valid with
                     76:      the -xx option.
                     77: 
                     78: -vv   Verbose operation.  With  this option, uussttaarr prints the name
                     79:      of each  file it processes,  preceded by the  option letter.
                     80:      With the  -tt option, the -vv option tells  uussttaarr to give more
                     81:      information  about  the archive's  entries  than just  their
                     82:      names.
                     83: 
                     84: -ww   Print the action to be taken  and the name of the file, then
                     85:      wait for  your confirmation.  If  you type a  word beginning
                     86:      with `y', uussttaarr  performs the action.  Any other input means
                     87:      ``no''.  This modifier is invalid with the -tt option.
