Version 2.0 adds the following features:
|
||
|
||
Support for the SVR4 cpio formats, which can store inodes >65535, and
|
||
for traditional and POSIX tar archives. Also adds these options:
|
||
|
||
-A --append append to instead of replacing the archive
|
||
-V --dot print a dot for each file processed
|
||
-H --format select archive format

||
-s --swap-bytes handle byte-order differences when extracting files
|
||
-S --swap-halfwords ditto

||

||
-I input archive filename
|
||
-k recognize corrupted archives (we alawys do it, though)
|
||
-O output archive filename
|
||
|
||
Some options of previous versions have been renamed in 2.0:
|
||
|
||
--binary was replaced by --format=bin
|
||
--portability was replaced by --format=odc
|
||
|
||
Some options have changed meaning in 2.0, for SVR4 compatibility:
|
||
|
||
-O used to select the binary archive format, now selects the output file
|
||
-V used to print the version number, now prints a dot for each file
|
||
|
||
Version 2.0 also fixes several bugs in the handling of files with
|
||
multiple links and of multi-volume archives on floppy disks.
