-You can easily use archive files to transport a group of files from
-one system to another: put all relevant files into an archive on one
-computer system, transfer the archive to another system, and extract
-the contents there.  The basic transfer medium might be magnetic tape,
-Internet FTP, or even electronic mail (though you must encode the
-archive with @command{uuencode} in order to transport it properly by
-mail).  Both machines do not have to use the same operating system, as
-long as they both support the @command{tar} program.
-
-For example, here is how you might copy a directory's contents from
-one disk to another, while preserving the dates, modes, owners and
-link-structure of all the files therein.  In this case, the transfer
-medium is a @dfn{pipe}:
-
-@smallexample
-$ @kbd{(cd sourcedir; tar -cf - .) | (cd targetdir; tar -xf -)}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-You can avoid subshells by using @option{-C} option:
-
-@smallexample
-$ @kbd{tar -C sourcedir -cf - . | tar -C targetdir -xf -}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-The command also works using long option forms:
-
-@smallexample
-@group
-$ @kbd{(cd sourcedir; tar --create --file=- . ) \
-       | (cd targetdir; tar --extract --file=-)}
-@end group
-@end smallexample

-@noindent
-or

-@smallexample
-@group
-$ @kbd{tar --directory sourcedir --create --file=- . \
-       | tar --directory targetdir --extract --file=-}
-@end group
-@end smallexample

-This is one of the easiest methods to transfer a @command{tar} archive.
