Description Kazuo Horikawa 1998-07-09 00:00:02 UTC 
	In tar(1) man page, there is a description about -C and
	--directory option as follows.

     -C directory
     --directory directory   Change to directory for extraction.


	But, we can use -C and --directory option for creation.  For
	example, -C option is used for creation in EXAMPLES section.

		tar -cf - -C srcdir . | tar xpf - -C destdir


	So, how about change the description about -C and --directory
	option as follows?

     -C directory
     --directory directory   Change to directory for creation or extraction.

How-To-Repeat: 
	% man 1 tar
