TAR bug - seen under Linux, several versions |

Hello -
there is a typical tar command which I have used for
years under Solaris, NCR UNIX, and many other
UNIX operating systems.
tar -ft <filename>
I just figured out today that the following command works:
tar -t -f <filename>
but this is very inconsistent with the normal syntax since
the following also works under linux:
tar -xvf <filename>
tar -tf <filename>
This problem has been dogging me for months and
I never thought that merely reversing the options to
make the "f" work at the end would work... or
breaking out the switches to multiple "-" options.
If you can please make the command line parser
work in other directions (-ft as well as -tf), that
would be great since it will help me out with a variety
of programs that I will need to make sure work under
Linux as well as other standard SVR4 systems.
Thanks,
Dave Halko
