Main advantages over other tar implementations:
fifo - keeps the tape streaming.
pattern matcher - for a convenient user interface
sophisticated diff - user tailorable interface for comparing tar
archives against file trees
no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.
deals with all 3 times - stores/restores all 3 times of a file
does not clobber files - more recent copies on disk will not be
clobbered from tape
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives
automatic format detect - automatically detects archive formats:
Old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
fully ansi compatible - Star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.
displaying the user name associated with the local end, and making use of
Ident services if available to determine the "user" at the other end.
Tcplist uses LSOF to do its low level work on 4.4BSD machines.
(1) NOMANCOMPRESS is set by user, not porter. To indicate that MAN? variables
are referring to already compressed manpages, use MANCOMPRESSED.
(2) Remove second address from MAINTAINER line, I don't want anything to break.
2.2 (says Lars). I have now also moved freebsd_system.c out into a
files subdirectory, it used to be created in its entirety by patch-aa
before which makes maintenance fairly uncomfortable.
I have now verified that it builds and works with FreeBSD 2.1.x
(freefall -- it is really funny to watch it there, the disk transfers
and interrupts remain in the red zone all the time ;-), 3.0-current
(thud), and 2.2.

It is a replacement for the standard X console. Contool will flash its
icon and beep when messages are written to the icon, so you can keep it
closed on your desktop until a message arrives. You can modify this
beeping and flashing behavior; see the man page for more details.
You can instruct contool to filter and ignore certain common console
messages or act upon them.

been ".../pub/pib/" (I first thought the second "pib" was bogus,
until I realized that the problem was in fact a typo of "pub" and
a missing "/"!)
(2) Fix RUN_DEPENDS, you can't just put a generic name like "tk-4.1"
here. ;)
(3) Change install: target to do-install: and also move it above the
.include <bsd.port.mk>. (You shouldn't define your own "install"
or "patch" or any of the big targets unless absolutely necessary,
the "do-*" targets are where most of the real work is done.)
FreeBSD ports collection. It provides facilities for tracking distfiles,
searching for ports, building etc.
Requires bsd.port.mk revision 1.232 or later and a matching ports collection.
