You mean the whole lot of GNU tar long options including filename rewriting and masks? I don't see any way such implementation could fit "suckless" principles. I would suggest a subset of POSIX tar options. It could be possibly amended with "z", "Z", "j" and "J" options, though using $ tar c dirname | gzip -9c > filename.tar.gz or $ tar cf - dirname | gzip -9c > filename.tar.gz is still a better suckless bet IMHO. ---- Dmitrij D.
