The syntax here is confusing, should it be >
[ignoring other options]
tar -c -W one-file-system -f tarfile2Becreated.tar /
{
>From the man pages
-W longopt=value
Long options (preceded by --) are only supported directly on systems that
have the getopt_long(3) function. The -W option can be used to access long
options on systems that do not support this function.
}
Or is there another synopsis?
Thanks!
