This is either a joke or a 'red herring' (false information) - I can't tell which.

You need to use a third party library.
Here is one that I have used before:

You may create an uncompressed archive (-0) without Manifest (-M) with

which will be similar to a tar-Archive, but not compatible; you may not extract it with (un)tar.
