DESCRIPTION  Option styles 
The following command, written in the traditional style, instructs tar to store 
all files from the directory /etc into the archivefile etc.tar verbosely 
listing the files being archived:

       tar cfv a.tar /etc


The above command has a mistake. Instead you should say :
The following command, written in the traditional style, instructs tar to store 
all files from the directory /etc into the archive file etc.tar verbosely 
listing the files being archived:

       tar cfv etc.tar /etc
