 8.3.7 GNU `tar' and POSIX `tar'
 -------------------------------
 
 Starting from version 1.14 GNU `tar' features full support for
 POSIX.1-2001 archives.
 
    A POSIX conformant archive will be created if `tar' was given
 `--format=posix' (`--format=pax') option.  No special option is
 required to read and extract from a POSIX archive.
