2.8.5 Commands That Will Fail
-----------------------------
Here are some sample commands you might try which will not work, and why
they won't work.
If you try to use this command,
$ tar -xvf music.tar folk jazz
you will get the following response:
tar: folk: Not found in archive
tar: jazz: Not found in archive
This is because these files were not originally _in_ the parent
directory '..', where the archive is located; they were in the
'practice' directory, and their file names reflect this:
$ tar -tvf music.tar
practice/blues
practice/folk
practice/jazz
Likewise, if you try to use this command,
$ tar -tvf music.tar folk jazz
you would get a similar response. Members with those names are not in
the archive. You must use the correct member names, or wildcards, in
order to extract the files from the archive.
If you have forgotten the correct names of the files in the archive,
use 'tar --list --verbose' to list them correctly.
