.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This utility allows you to apply pattern matching to \fBthe contents\fR of files
contained in a tar archive.  You might use this to identify all files in an
archive which contain lines matching the specified pattern and either print out
the pathnames or extract the files.
.PP
The pattern will be used as a Perl regular expression (as opposed to a simple
grep regex).
.PP
Multiple tar archive filenames can be specified \- they will each be processed
in turn.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-\-basename\fR (alias \-b)" 4
.IX Item "--basename (alias -b)"
When matching files are extracted, ignore the directory path from the archive
and write to the current directory using the basename of the file from the
archive.  Beware: if two matching files in the archive have the same basename,
the second file extracted will overwrite the first.
.IP "\fB\-\-ignore\-case\fR (alias \-i)" 4
.IX Item "--ignore-case (alias -i)"
Make pattern matching case-insensitive.
.IP "\fB\-\-list\-only\fR (alias \-l)" 4
.IX Item "--list-only (alias -l)"
Print the pathname of each matching file from the archive to \s-1STDOUT\s0.  Without
this option, the default behaviour is to extract each matching file.
.IP "\fB\-\-verbose\fR (alias \-v)" 4
.IX Item "--verbose (alias -v)"
Log debugging info to \s-1STDERR\s0.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR (alias \-?)" 4
.IX Item "--help (alias -?)"
Display this documentation.
