Is it similar to what tar.exe -h option which can be used when
we form the tar on folders/files?
The important point here is that the tar is created by using standard
tar format described in link below:
While forming tar, it uses link indicator as '2' as described in above
link and my requirement is to untar that on windows; the tar is
created using above format on Windows.
