    Keep in mind that the tar “manual” does not actually call itself a “manual”: it refers to itself as a “book”. It has 20 pages of preamble (5 title pages, discussions of the authors, descriptions of the intended audience, etc.) It has another 20 pages elaborating on important structs in the tar source code. The licence takes up another 10 pages. The index at the end is 25 pages long.
