 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').
