first and the most important reason for fun second it was my end-of-semester project

no and I hold no responisbility for data loss or files corruptun results from using star. it is capable of only taring files and directories

use it to create one archive that contain mixture of nested directories and files then untar these files with star and use diff command to find if their is any difference between the 2 directories if diff didn't produce any output than star functioning correctly

create an archive with star use file command to find the file type of the file created by tar it should output something like POSIX tar archive

the answer is NO the star utility can ONLY untar archives that follows ustar standards (Unix Standard TAR)

to compile and install the code issue sudo make install to generate the documentation issue make docs to compile the code in debug mode issue make debug
