we don't unzip, we tar
would
tar --helpcountSince a competent typist could type that in at most 3 seconds, it's worth a shot.
what? 3 seconds for "tar --help"???, I could type that out faster in my phone? In a physical keyboard you could type thar in a fraction of a second?
*boom*
lol that happens when I type in my phone, and my bad I was stupid enough to not read at most.
They also failed to read "at most".
It should, as long as you don't try to abbreviate it as
tar -hthough... the short form istar -?which illustrates the joke nicelyProbably not, the double-dash long commandline option is a GNU extension and isn't guaranteed to work with every tar implementation.
I'd use tar -help and we'd all die
Is
a Tar command or a Man command?
man command
I use the mnemonic "extract ze file" for
tar -xzftar -xcvf file.tar.gz /dev/randomTear would be funnier. You tear the tar open.
