Hello,
To move a file tree from one place to another I see as an example:
# tar -cf - local | tar --unlink -xpf - -C /mnt
What does '--unlink' do exactly? I can't see it in the man page of
tar(1). Thanks in advance

I know the unlink(2) sys call, but what does this --unlink flag in tar(1)
on restore (-x)?
It's the same as the -U option, provided for gnutar compatibility.
Dan,
Thanks for your helping answer. Maybe someone

Around line 37 of /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/extract.c
there's an invocation of /usr/bin/tar with a --unlink switch,
which I don't see mentioned in the tar(1) manpage. Anyone
happen to know what this does, or do I need to dig into the
code?
