8.3.5 Ustar Archive Format
--------------------------
Archive format defined by POSIX.1-1988 specification is called 'ustar'.
Although it is more flexible than the V7 format, it still has many
restrictions ( ustar Formats, for the detailed description of
'ustar' format). Along with V7 format, 'ustar' format is a good choice
for archives intended to be read with other implementations of 'tar'.
To create archive in 'ustar' format, use '--format=ustar' option in
conjunction with the '--create' ('-c').
