Example--Listing the Files on a Diskette (tar)

In this example, the table of contents for the diskette shows two files:

$ tar tvf /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unlabeled
rw-rw-rw-6693/10  44032 Oct 23 14:54 1996 evaluation.doc
rw-rw-rw-6693/10  43008 Oct 23 14:47 1996 evaluation.doc.backup
$

See tar(1) for more information.

If you need a multiple-volume interchange utility, use the cpio command. The tar command is only a single-volume utility.
