some archives have members like |
| 39 |
|
foo/bar |
| 40 |
|
foo/baz |
| 41 |
|
foo/bam |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
When I now want to extract the three members bar, baz and bam to the |
| 44 |
|
directory fom instead foo, I need to extract to foo and then to move |
| 45 |
|
the files over manually. |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
|

| 48 |
|
of path elements to cut away before using the path name. With an |
| 49 |
|
option like that, the above problem could be solved with |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
tar --extract --cut-path-elements 1 --directory fom |
