TARFS(4)							      TARFS(4)

NAME
       tarfs - mount tar archive

SYNOPSIS
       tarfs [ -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.
