The option is useful, for example, while comparing `tar cv' and `tar tv' outputs. +* New option --to-command pipes the contents of archive members to the +specified command. + * New option --atime-preserve=system, which uses the O_NOATIME feature of recent Linux kernels to avoid some problems when preserving file access times. +* New option --restrict prohibits use of some potentially harmful tar +options.
