From 55e824de373755ec9f9f598ef69b6a3f40ba19a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jkoshy Date: Thu, 9 Jul 1998 04:28:19 +0000 Subject: fix description of `-C' option to match behaviour in the sources: `-C' can be used both when creating and extracting files. Further, a `-C' inside the argument list causes a `chdir()' to the named directory before the subsequent filename arguments to be interpreted. Eg:- "tar -cf a+b.tar -C /a . -C /b ."
