136 ** +tar cf archive.tar -S [files...]+ will efficiently store sparse files
138 ** +tar xf archive.tar -S+ will efficiently store sparse files extracted
141 * +cp+ accepts the +--sparse=WHEN+ option (+WHEN+ is one of +auto+,
143 ** +cp --sparse=always source.file dest.file+ will make +dest.file+ a
144    sparse file if +source.file+ has long runs of zeroes
149 You can use sparse files if you need to store the filesystem images (e.g.
154 sparse mode of +dd+ may result in a broken filesystem (e.g. the block bitmap
