Extract tar archive contents to ext filesystem image or device.
tar2ext image.ext < archive.tar
This only works for uncompressed tar archives. To use this with compressed tar archives anyway,
just pipe it through the correct uncompressor first. For example, if you have a .tar.gz archive,
you can simply use gzip -d < archive.tar.gz | tar2ext image.ext
, and so on.
