D i s k A R c h i v e PRESENTATION ================ dar is a shell command, that makes backup of a directory tree and files. It has been tested under Linux, Windows (95, 2000, NT, XP), Solaris 8, FreeBSD and NetBSD, it has been reported as working under Mac OS X 10.3 (takes care of file forks but not of the ACL under MacOS). External GUI are possible thanks to the libdar library and its API. Actually dar is a set of six commands: dar dar_xform dar_slave dar_manager dar_static (statically linked version of dar, not all system support static linking) dar_cp And since version 2.0.0 these commands are based on a library called libdar. This library is part of dar and licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL in the following) like all the source code of the Dar suite programs. This imply that you can link libdar to your programs at the condition that your programs are also covered by the GPL too, which says in particular that you must provide source code of your program.
