+<summary>
+Builds a tar archive of the specified files
+and/or directories.
+Unlike most builder methods,
+the
+&b-Tar;
+builder method may be called multiple times
+for a given target;
+each additional call
+adds to the list of entries
+that will be built into the archive.
+Any source directories will
+be scanned for changes to
+any on-disk files,
+regardless of whether or not
+&scons;
+knows about them from other Builder or function calls.
+
+<example>
+env.Tar('src.tar', 'src')
+
+# Create the stuff.tar file.
+env.Tar('stuff', ['subdir1', 'subdir2'])
+# Also add "another" to the stuff.tar file.
+env.Tar('stuff', 'another')
+
+# Set TARFLAGS to create a gzip-filtered archive.
+env = Environment(TARFLAGS = '-c -z')
+env.Tar('foo.tar.gz', 'foo')
+
+# Also set the suffix to .tgz.
+env = Environment(TARFLAGS = '-c -z',
+ TARSUFFIX = '.tgz')
+env.Tar('foo')
