6 Choosing Files and Names for tar
Certain options to tar enable you to specify a name for your
archive. Other options let you decide which files to include or exclude
from the archive, based on when or whether files were modified, whether
the file names do or don’t match specified patterns, or whether files
are in specified directories.
This chapter discusses these options in detail.
