Hello. Assumed conditions: $ pwd /home/<$USER> $ ls -d DD
A script working properly contains those strings of code: tar -xvf DD/00.tar.xz -C DD tar -xvf DD/01.tar.xz -C DD As it appears those strings don't have tar command options that follow '-C DD', which then are indications that there does not exist subject to be affected in each string. Since the task of '-C' is to change into directory, as i understand the way 'cd DIR' does, i wonder may those strings respectively equal as follows tar -xvf DD/00.tar.xz cd DD and tar -xvf DD/01.tar.xz cd DD However after tar -xvf DD/00.tar.xz cd DD we would have $ pwd /home/<$USER>/DD Thus, this would make 'tar -xvf DD/01.tar.xz' unable to find *01.tar.xz*. Despite i understand the sentence in TAR(1), *Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.*, i don't comprehend what it is intended to mean to non-developer readers, which i am. I would appreciate if i could receive a definition that would make me comprehend. Regards.
