All Options (GNU tar 1.35)

### 3.4 All `tar` Options

The coming manual sections contain an alphabetical listing of all `tar` operations and options, with brief descriptions and cross-references to more in-depth explanations in the body of the manual. They also contain an alphabetically arranged table of the short option forms with their corresponding long option. You can use this table as a reference for deciphering `tar` commands in scripts.
