Options...................................................|tar-options| + 4. History...................................................|tar-history| + +============================================================================== +2. Usage *tar-usage* *tar-manual* + + When one edits a *.tar file, this plugin will handle displaying a + contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop + the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may + also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in + tar archives via the plugin. + + *:Vimuntar* + VIMUNTAR~ + + :Vimuntar [vimhome] + + This command copies, if necessary, the tarball to the .vim or vimfiles + directory using the first writable directory in the |'runtimepath'| + when no [vimhome] is specified. Otherwise, the [vimhome] argument + allows the user to specify that directory, instead. + + The copy is done using the command in *g:tar_copycmd* , which is > + cp for cygwin, unix, macunix + copy for windows (32, 95, 64, 16) +< The extraction is done with the command specified with + *g:tar_extractcmd* , which by default is > + "tar -xf" +< + *:TarDiff* + DIFFERENCING SUPPORT~ + + :TarDiff [filename] + + This command will attempt to show the differences between the tarball + version of a file and the associated file on the system. In order to + find that file on the system, the script uses the path associated with + the file mentioned in the tarball. If the current directory is not + correct for that path, :TarDiff will fail to find the associated file. + + If the [filename] is given, that that filename (and path) will be used + to specify the associated file. + + + PREVENTING LOADING~ + + If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine tar'd files, + you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent + the tar plugin from loading: > + + let g:loaded_tarPlugin= 1 + let g:loaded_tar = 1 +< + +============================================================================== +3. Options *tar-options* + + These options are variables that one may change, typically in one's + <.vimrc> file. + Default + Variable Value Explanation + *g:tar_browseoptions* "Ptf" used to get a list of contents + *g:tar_readoptions* "OPxf" used to extract a file from a tarball + *g:tar_cmd* "tar" the name of the tar program + *g:tar_nomax* 0 if true, file window will not be maximized + *g:tar_secure* undef if exists: + "--"s will be used to prevent unwanted + option expansion in tar commands. + Please be sure that your tar command + accepts "--"; Posix compliant tar + utilities do accept them. + if not exists: + The tar plugin will reject any tar + files or member files that begin with + "-" + Not all tar's support the "--" which is why + it isn't default. + *g:tar_writeoptions* "uf" used to update/replace a file + + +============================================================================== +4.
