TARFS(4)TARFS(4)NAMEtarfs - mount tar archive
SYNOPSIStarfs [ -ab ] [ -p ] tarfile mountpt
DESCRIPTION
Tarfs makes the contents of the directories and files archived in the
given Unix/POSIX tar archive tarfile visible in the name space under
mountpt. They can then be accessed in an obvious way by other commands
such as ls(1) and cp(1). Only read access is supported. User and
group names are taken from the ``ustar'' headers when present. Other‐
wise, the numeric user and group IDs are used. The -a and -b options
cause the tarfile's name space to be placed after or before the current
contents of mountpt; the default is to replace that directory's con‐
tents. Option -p causes permissions in the tar file to be discarded.
