pax
If you do not specify –o, no code set conversion is done. When
making code set conversions, pax assumes that all files are text
files, since only text files are portable.
The following keyword-value pairs are supported for the indicated
file formats:
delete=pattern
(Applicable only to the -x pax format.) When used in write
or copy mode, pax omits from extended header records
that it produces any keywords matching the string pattern.
When used in read or list mode, pax ignores any keywords
matching the string pattern in the extended header records.
For example:
-o delete=realtime.*
would suppress information related to the realtime
keyword. When multiple -o delete=pattern options are
specified, the patterns are additive; all keywords matching
the specified string patterns are omitted from extended
header records that pax produces. Matching shall be
performed using the pattern matching notation described in
Patterns Matching a Single Character and Patterns
Matching Multiple Characters.
exthdr.name=string
(Applicable only to the -x pax format.) This keyword allows
user control over the name that is written into the USTAR
header blocks for the extended header produced under the
circumstances described in pax Header Block. The name is
the contents of string, after the following character
substitutions have been made:
Table 22. exthdr.name string values
string
Includes: Replaced by:
%d The directory name of the file, equivalent to the result of the
dirname utility on the translated pathname.
%f The filename of the file, equivalent to the result of the
basename utility on the translated pathname.
%p The process ID of the pax process.
%% A % character.

Any other % characters in string produce the character
itself. For instance %s shall print the character ’s’.
If no -o exthdr.name=string is specified, pax uses the
following default value:
%d/PaxHeaders.%p/%f
globexthdr.name=string
(Applicable only to the -x pax format.) When used in write
or copy mode with the appropriate options, pax creates
global extended header records with USTAR header blocks
that will be treated as regular files by previous versions of
pax. This keyword allows user control over the name that is
