img title=“I don’t know what’s worse–the fact that after 15 years of using tar I still can’t keep the flags straight, or that after 15 years of technological advancement I’m still mucking with tar flags that were 15 years old when I started.”
tar: You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
zsh: exit 2 tar
OK now I have to escape to really smart assery and assume that’s what I meant the whole time ;)
Edit code 2 describes something that went wrong - but that something telling you that it went wrong was the tar binary which therefor most have been valid to evaluate that!
Under no circumstances did I assume that the hint towards help itself would’ve been an exit code 0, no sir!
To be honest: if I’d designed that bomb it would’ve exploded in my face for trying to be too clever.
