Hello,
in the info pages of tar 1.15.90, the to-command option is called
to-program:
$ tar xjf tar-1.15.90.tar.bz2 --to-command 'grep -H --label="$TAR_FILENAME"
to-program' --ignore-command-error
tar-1.15.90/doc/tar.texi:@opindex to-program
tar-1.15.90/doc/tar.texi:@item [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tar-1.15.90/doc/tar.info-1:`--to-program=COMMAND'
tar-1.15.90/doc/tar.info-2:* to-program: Writing to
an External Program.
(sorry, I like this too much ;))
Although I don't know anything about creating info documents, I hope,
the attached patch is not too stupid.
Thanks, Hansjörg
