Post #141,446 by Arkadiy 2/12/04 1:18:59 PM Reply	Dash by itself is meaningless in tar Just another file name to add to archive, I think. Dash as an argument to -f means "direct the output to stdout" (or take input from stdin) Ofcourse, CRC's man page said it all already. $ tar cf - - tar: -: Cannot stat: No such file or directory $ tar cf - test.c $ tar cf - test.c test.c 0100644 0027153 0024461 00000000063 10012711566 012563 0 ustar belousa mkgroup-l-d main(){ puts(strcat("This is a test", "crap")); } -- "...and pronounce all four E's in the word 'shit'"

Probably because the dash IS an option on its own, to tar? -NT - (CRConrad) - (16) - Feb. 11, 2004, 07:32:41 PM EST
