NAME
amarchiver - Create, extract or list amanda archive
SYNOPSIS
amarchiver --version|--create|--extract|--list [--verbose]
[--file file] [filename]...
DESCRIPTION
Amarchiver manipulates amanda archive file. On creation, amarchiver
doesn´t recurse into directories. If a filename specifies a directory,
it will be ignored. If it specifies a character device, amarchiver
reads the device and archives the data. If a filename specifies a named
pipe, amarchiver reads the named pipe and archives the data.
Note that this tool is more limited than the Amanda archive library,
and may not be appropriate for some archive files -- particularly those
which use non-strings in their filenames.
