+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This command creates a tarball from an archive.
+
+When giving '-' as the output FILE, Borg will write a tar stream to standard output.
+
+By default (--tar-filter=auto) Borg will detect whether the FILE should be compressed
+based on its file extension and pipe the tarball through an appropriate filter
+before writing it to FILE:
+
+- .tar.gz: gzip
+- .tar.bz2: bzip2
+- .tar.xz: xz
+
+Alternatively a --tar-filter program may be explicitly specified. It should
+read the uncompressed tar stream from stdin and write a compressed/filtered
+tar stream to stdout.
+
+The generated tarball uses the GNU tar format.
+
+export-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 extract) is not supported.
+
+By default the entire archive is extracted but a subset of files and directories
+can be selected by passing a list of ``PATHs`` as arguments.
+The file selection can further be restricted by using the ``--exclude`` option.
+
+See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
+
+``--progress`` can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one additional
+pass over the archive metadata.
