> Archiving and copying utility.

List the contents of an archive:

pax -f {archive.tar}

List the contents of a gzipped archive:

pax -zf {archive.tar.gz}

Create an archive from files:

pax -wf {target.tar} {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2} {path/to/file3}

Create an archive from files, using output redirection:

pax -w {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2} {path/to/file3} > {target.tar}

Extract an archive into the current directory:
