-.B \-p
-.I password
-
-.RS 3
-The password to use to access a share. Default: none
-.RE

-.B \-u
-.I user
-.RS 3
-The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
-.RE
-
-.B \-t
-.I tape
-.RS 3
-Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: Tape environmental
-variable; if not set, a file called

-.B \-b
-.I blocksize
-.RS 3
-Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.
-.RE
-
-.B \-N
-.I filename
-.RS 3
-Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log
-file to implement incremental backups.
-.RE
-
-.B \-i
-.RS 3
-Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the
-archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.
-.RE
-

-.SH BUGS
-The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and tar
-called from smbclient.
-
-.SH CAVEATS
-Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way
