<p><tt>pax(1)</tt> is IEEE/POSIX's answer to <tt>tar</tt> and
<tt>cpio</tt>. Over the years the various versions of <tt>tar</tt> and
<tt>cpio</tt> have gotten slightly incompatable. So rather than fight it
out to fully standardize them, POSIX created a new archive utilility.
<tt>pax</tt> attempts to read and write many of the various cpio and tar
formats, plus new formats of its own. Its command set more resembles
<tt>cpio</tt> than <tt>tar</tt>.
