- mrguyorama 1y agoAs has been clearly demonstrated in this very thread, why is "Please list what files are in this archive" the option "-t"? Principle of least surprise and all that.
- encom 1y agoAnd why is -v the short option for --invert-match in grep, when that's usually --verbose or --version in lots of other places. These idiosyncrasies are hardly unique to tar.
