groff_man_style(7):
• Option dashes are specified with the \- escape sequence; this is
an important practice to make them clearly visible and to
facilitate copy‐and‐paste from the rendered man page to a shell
prompt or text file.
...
\- Minus sign. \- produces the basic Latin hyphen‐minus
(U+002D) specifying Unix command‐line options and frequently
used in file names. “-” is a hyphen in roff; some output
devices format it as U+2010 (hyphen).

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Dlb
|
|
is a file archiving tool in the spirit (and tradition) of
|
|
.IR tar (1)
|
|
for
|
|
.IR nethack (6)
|
|
version 3.1 and higher.
|
|
It is used to maintain the
|
|
archive files from which the game reads special level files and other
|
|
read-only information.
|
|
Note that like
|
|
.IR tar ,
|
|
the letters specifying the operation and options
|
|
are expressed as a continuous string.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.IR tar ,
|
|
.I dlb
|
|
is configured with a default set of file names to process.

.SH BUGS
|
|
.IP \(bu 2n
|
|
Not a good
|
|
.I tar
|
|
emulation;
|
|
.B \-
|
|
does not mean stdin or stdout.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
Should include an optional compression facility.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
Not all read-only files for NetHack can be read out of an archive;
|
|
examining the source is the only way to know which files can be.
