 ===========================
 
      _(This message will disappear, once this node revised.)_
 
    The previous chapter showed how to use `--extract' (`--get', `-x')
 to extract an archive into the filesystem.  Various options cause `tar'
 to extract more information than just file contents, such as the owner,
 the permissions, the modification date, and so forth.  This section
 presents options to be used with `--extract' when certain special
 considerations arise.  You may review the information presented in
  extract for more basic information about the `--extract'
 operation.
