Questionably coding, but I always loved this IRC snippet:

- belovedeagle 13y agoI really don't see what the big deal is with tar. Everyone seems to hate it. Probably because exactly one of those flags is necessary: zcat merc.tgz | tar -x
- anotherhue 13y agoI quite like it, and have almost a singalong bit for the meaning attached to each character I add to a long tar command tar - [create] [verbosely] [a g/bzip'd compressed] [file named] foo.tgz (from) input_dir tar -cvzf foo.tgz input_dir Your version doesn't seem as 'fun', I guess zcat and PIPE are just hard to rhyme along to.
