The `-C directory' is ignored when doing a restore. That is, if I do something like: tar xvf tar-output -C directory file1 file2 file3 The `-C directory' will be accepted, but ignored. That is, it won't do a chdir, instead it'll put the files into the current directory. It would be best if it was paid attention to. Failing that, it should probably generate an error message.
