How do I exclude absolute paths for tar?
问题 I am running a PHP script that gets me the absolute paths of files I want to tar up. This is the syntax I have: tar -cf tarname.tar -C /www/path/path/file1.txt /www/path/path2/path3/file2.xls When I untar it, it creates the absolute path to the files. How do I get just /path with everything under it to show? 回答1: If you want to remove the first n leading components of the file name, you need strip-components . So in your case, on extraction, do tar xvf tarname.tar --strip-components=2 The man
