   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
