<title>Introduction to Pax</title>
<para>
<application>pax</application> is an archiving utility created by POSIX
and defined by the POSIX.1-2001 standard. Rather than sort out the
incompatible options that have crept up between
<application>tar</application> and <application>cpio</application>,
along with their implementations across various versions of UNIX, the
IEEE designed a new archive utility. The name <quote>pax</quote> is
an acronym for portable archive exchange. Furthermore,
<quote>pax</quote> means <quote>peace</quote> in Latin, so its name
implies that it shall create peace between the
<application>tar</application> and <application>cpio</application>
format supporters. The command invocation and command structure is
somewhat a unification of both <application>tar</application> and
<application>cpio</application>.
</para>
<para>
<application>pax</application> has been required to be present in LSB
conformant systems since LSB version 3.0.

<title>Installation of Pax</title>
<para>
This package has somewhat unusual installation instructions, because
<application>pax</application> is part of a larger set of utilities
included in the same tarball. Issue the following commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i build/mk.config \
-e '/LIBZ/s@ -Wl[^ ]*@@g' \
-e '/LIBBZ2/{s@^#@@;s@ -Wl[^ ]*@@g}' \
-e '/BZLIB/s@0@1@' &amp;&amp;
make makefiles &amp;&amp;
make -C libcommon &amp;&amp;
make -C libuxre &amp;&amp;
make -C cpio</userinput></screen>
<para>
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -m755 cpio/pax_su3 /usr/bin/pax &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 cpio/pax.1 /usr/share/man/man1</userinput></screen>

<para>
<command>sed ...</command>: This changes the configuration file

</para>
<para>

makefiles.
</para>
<para>
<command>make -C lib...</command>: First builds the necessary libraries.
