The man page for tar.... well... sucks. Its should have
"Written so something happens when you type `man tar` and not much else"
right at the top. Theres a lot of gnu tools that have really really
bad man pages. Mostly its because a lot of gnu utils have info pages.
Which are nicer to read, you can quickly move from section to section
and get what you need. Its almost like navigating html. Do an
`info tar` and see what I mean. It'd also probably be a good idea
to do `info info` and try the tutorial so you can actually navigate. :)
