Bug Report
Request: Have Jordan Hubbard included in the Developer Documentation
Summary:
The pax(1) archiving tool has a man page that is rather difficult to
understand, particularly for us poor sods who have been brainwashed
by the GNU tar and cpio implementation. Jordan claims to understand
the pax(1) man page, so he should be included in the ADC Library
documentation distribution to hit us with his cluestick...
Alternatively, the documentation provided with star (ess-tar) could
be expanded to incorporate the BSD version of pax(1).

The pax tool comes from FreeBSD (well, some BSD anyway - it's a bit
old) and is already open source. I just went and looked at the man
page and didn't have any trouble understanding it, either. :-)
