Getting Additional File Information
-----------------------------------

     *(This message will disappear, once this node revised.)*

   When you specify the `--verbose' (`-v') option in conjunction with
`--list' (`-t'), `tar' will print additional information about the
files being listed (file protection, owner and group ID, size, and date
and time of creation).  The example above, in verbose mode, would be:

     % tar --list --verbose --file=music
     drwxrwxrwx myself/user 0 May 31 21:49 1990 practice/
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 42 May 21 13:29 1990 practice/blues
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 62 May 23 10:55 1990 practice/folk
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 40 May 21 13:30 1990 practice/jazz
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 10240 May 31 21:49 1990 practice/records
     %

   Note that using `--verbose' (`-v') with `--list' (`-t') does not
cause `tar' to print the names of files as they are being acted on,
though the `--verbose' (`-v') option will have this effect with all
other operations.

   To get more information when you list the names of files stored in an
archive, specify the `--verbose' (`-v') option in conjunction with
`--list' (`-t').

   `tar' will print archive member's file protection, owner and group
ID, size, and date and time of creation.

   For example:

     % tar --list --verbose --file=music
     drwxrwxrwx myself/user 0 May 31 21:49 1990 practice/
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 42 May 21 13:29 1990 practice/blues
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 62 May 23 10:55 1990 practice/folk
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 40 May 21 13:30 1990 practice/jazz
     -rw-rw-rw- myself/user 10240 May 31 21:49 1990 practice/records
     %

   Note that when you use `--verbose' (`-v') with `--list' (`-t'),
`tar' doesn't print the names of files as they are being acted on,
though the `--verbose' (`-v') option will have this effect when used
with all other operations.
