A co-worker sent me the following command as a Neat Trick for extracting files from whichever tarball they happen to be in:
cat *tar.gz | tar xz -ignoreblocks --files-from f However, our man page says nothing of "-ignoreblocks". We're guessing it's equivalent to --ignore-zeros, because it seems to behave similarly. How's this argument getting parsed? -- Ken Williams Research Scientist The Thomson Corporation Eagan, MN
