some archives have members like |
|
|
foo/bar |
|
|
foo/baz |
|
|
foo/bam |
|
|
|
|
|
When I now want to extract the three members bar, baz and bam to the |
|
|
directory fom instead foo, I need to extract to foo and then to move |
|
|
the files over manually. |
|
|
|
|
|
patch(1) solves that problem by offering an option taking the number |
|
|
of path elements to cut away before using the path name. With an |
|
|
option like that, the above problem could be solved with |
|
|
|
|
|
tar --extract --cut-path-elements 1 --directory fom |
