HTAR supports a subset of the tar command set for archiving/extracting files into/out of HPSS or the local file system. To use HTAR, use the following syntax:
htar -{c|t|x|X} -f Archive [-?] [-B] [-E] [-L inputlist]
[-h] [-m] [-o] [-d debuglevel] [-p] [-v] [-V] [-w]
[-Y [Archive COS ID][:Index File COS ID]]
'Archive' is the name of the archive file being created or extracted.
