Please send bug reports, etc., to +bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. + +GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with +added features. The manual is currently being written. An old +manual, surely riddled with errors, is in tar.texinfo. Please don't +send in bug reports about that manual. In particular, the mechanism +for doing incremental dumps has been significantly changed. + +This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which +must reside in /etc). The mt program is in the GNU cpio distribution. + +To compile tar (and rmt, if your system has the needed features) on +Unix-like systems: + +1. Type `./configure'. This shell script attempts to guess correct +values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation, +and creates the file `Makefile'. This takes a couple of minutes. + +If you want to compile in a different directory from the one +containing the source code, `cd' to that directory and run `configure' +with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where DIR is the directory that +contains the source code. The object files and executables will be +put in the current directory. This option only works with versions of +`make' that support the VPATH variable. `configure' ignores any other +arguments you give it. + +If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking +that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial +values for variables by setting them in the environment; in +Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like +this: +$ CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure + +2. If you want to change the directories where the programs will be +installed, or the optimization options, edit `Makefile' and change +those values. If you have an unusual system that needs special +compilation options that `configure' doesn't know about, and you +didn't pass them in the environment when running `configure', you +should add them to `Makefile' now. Alternately, teach `configure' how +to figure out that it is being run on a system where they are needed, +and mail the diffs to the address listed at the top of this file so we +can include them in the next release. + +3. Type `make'. + +4. If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has +rename in the C library (so RENAME_MISSING is not used), -lPW might give +you an incorrect version of rename. On HP-UX this manifests itself as +an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking tar. If this +happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a and `ar rc' to +put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS instead of -lPW. +This problem does not occur when using gcc, which has alloca built in. + +5. If the programs compile successfully, type `make install' to +install them. + +6. After you have installed the programs, you can remove the binaries +from the source directory by typing `make mostlyclean'. Type `make +clean' if you also want to remove `Makefile', for instance if you +are going to recompile tar next on another type of machine. + +makefile.pc is a makefile for Turbo C 2.0 on MS-DOS. + +Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT. +I've gotten conflicting reports about what should be done to solve the +problems, and we have no way to test it ourselves. + + +User-visible changes since 1.09: + +Filename to -G is optional. -C works right. +Names newer and --newer-mtime work right. + +-g is now --incremental +-G is now --listed-incremental + +Sparse files now work correctly. + +--volume is now called --label. + +--exclude now takes a filename argument, and --exclude-from does what +--exclude used to do. + +Exit status is now correct. + +--totals keeps track of total I/O and prints it when tar exits. + +When using --label with --extract, the label is now a regexp. + +New option --tape-length (-L) does multi-volume handling like BSD dump: +you tell tar how big the tape is and it will prompt at that point +instead of waiting for a write error. + +New backup scripts level-0 and level-1 which might be useful to +people. They use a file "backup-specs" for information, and shouldn't +need local modification. These are what we use to do all our backups +at the FSF. diff --git a/src/list.c b/src/list.c index 513bb0f..5932557 100644 --- a/src/list.c +++ b/src/list.c @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ /* List a tar archive. - Copyright (C) 1988, 1992 Free Software Foundation + Copyright (C) 1988, 1992, 1993 Free Software Foundation This file is part of GNU Tar. @@ -404,7 +404,7 @@ recurse: : head->header.arch_name); if (current_file_name) free (current_file_name); - current_file_name = malloc (strlen (name) + 1); + current_file_name = ck_malloc (strlen (name) + 1); strcpy (current_file_name, name); name = (next_long_link @@ -412,7 +412,7 @@ recurse: : head->header.arch_linkname); if (current_link_name) free (current_link_name); - current_link_name = malloc (strlen (name) + 1); + current_link_name = ck_malloc (strlen (name) + 1); strcpy (current_link_name, name); next_long_link = next_long_name = 0;
