Hello, maintainers
When reading gnu tar manual I was confused by following paragraph:
"6.10.1 Changing the Working Directory
...
Contrast this with the command,
$ tar -c -f jams.tar grape prune -C food red/cherry
which records the third file in the archive under the name ‘red/cherry’
so that, if the archive is extracted using ‘tar --extract’, the third
file will be written in a subdirectory named ‘orange-colored’."
Confusing thing is directory mentioned twice as "red" and
"orange-colored". As I understand file cherry stored under path
red/cherry will be extracted to directory red but not orange-colored,
isn't it? Also it will be more consistent to mention that file cherry is
found under food/red/cherry path in this case as opposed to previous
example's food/cherry, however may be it is clear enough for others and
I'm too pedantic?:).
Thanks for your work,
Igor.
