Where can I find detailed information about the format of tar archives?

[[Ed's Note: A good place to start might be the GNU Tar source code/README
files. Gnu tar is a public domain implementation of tar based on John
Gilmore's original public domain tar. It is available via anonymous ftp
from prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38) as public/gnu/tar-1.09.tar.Z. -bdg]]
