No reason why not. The -v gives you the sizes of the details of individual components of a tarball, which is very useful ... bish@aedes:~$ tar -tzvf Par152.tar.gz drwx------ amc/grad 0 2001-04-30 02:40 Par152/ -rw------- amc/grad 4528 2001-03-09 05:21 Par152/buffer.c -rw------- amc/grad 2298 2001-03-09 05:21 Par152/buffer.h etc .... Whereas, a mere tzf only fives the contents ... viz: bish@aedes:~$ tar -tzf Par152.tar.gz Par152/ Par152/buffer.c Par152/buffer.h etc .... There may be something in your recommendation of not using -v with -t, which I am not aware of ... it would be nice to know why ...
