  Modified files:
    gnu/usr.bin/tar      tar.1 
  Log:
  fix description of `-C' option to match behaviour in the sources:
  `-C' can be used both when creating and extracting files.  Further,
  a `-C' inside the argument list causes a `chdir()' to the named
  directory before the subsequent filename arguments to be interpreted.
  
  Eg:- "tar -cf a+b.tar -C /a . -C /b ."
