Setting Access Permissions
..........................

   To set the modes (access permissions) of extracted files to those
recorded for those files in the archive, use `--same-permissions' in
conjunction with the `--extract' (`--get', `-x') operation.

`--preserve-permission'
`--same-permission'
`--ignore-umask'
`-p'
     Set modes of extracted archive members to those recorded in the
     archive, instead of current umask settings.  Use in conjunction
     with `--extract' (`--get', `-x').
