 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.
