Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command creates a backup archive from a tarball.
When giving '-' as path, Borg will read a tar stream from standard input.
By default (--tar-filter=auto) Borg will detect whether the file is compressed
based on its file extension and pipe the file through an appropriate filter:
- .tar.gz or .tgz: gzip -d
- .tar.bz2 or .tbz: bzip2 -d
- .tar.xz or .txz: xz -d
- .tar.zstd: zstd -d
- .tar.lz4: lz4 -d
Alternatively, a --tar-filter program may be explicitly specified. It should
read compressed data from stdin and output an uncompressed tar stream on
stdout.
Most documentation of borg create applies. Note that this command does not
support excluding files.
import-tar is a lossy conversion:
BSD flags, ACLs, extended attributes (xattrs), atime and ctime are not exported.
Timestamp resolution is limited to whole seconds, not the nanosecond resolution
otherwise supported by Borg.
A ``--sparse`` option (as found in borg create) is not supported.
import-tar reads POSIX.1-1988 (ustar), POSIX.1-2001 (pax), GNU tar, UNIX V7 tar
and SunOS tar with extended attributes.

Borg's default behavior is to use the archived user and group names of each
file and map them to the system's respective user and group ids.
Alternatively, using ``numeric-ids`` will instead use the archived user and
group ids without any mapping.
The ``uid`` and ``gid`` mount options (implemented by Borg) can be used to
override the user and group ids of all files (i.e., ``borg mount -o
uid=1000,gid=1000``).
The man page references ``user_id`` and ``group_id`` mount options
(implemented by fuse) which specify the user and group id of the mount owner
(aka, the user who does the mounting). It is set automatically by libfuse (or
the filesystem if libfuse is not used). However, you should not specify these
manually. Unlike the ``uid`` and ``gid`` mount options which affect all files,
``user_id`` and ``group_id`` affect the user and group id of the mounted
