does not clobber files - More recent copies on disk will not be
clobbered from tape.
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives.

old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
support for ACLS and - star supports Access Control Lists as well as
file flags extended file flags
fully ansi compatible - star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.
sophisticated error - Allows to tell star which error types should be
