How can you UnTar files to a different directory?
Suppose you have a TAR file created with a different directory structure and you need to UnTar (or explode) the files to a different directory structure. How can this be done?
If TAR command cannot do this, are there any other alternatives (any other command) available to UnTar a .Tar file?
Thanks a lot in advance ...

th_get_pathname(3) C Library Calls th_get_pathname(3)
NAME
th_get_pathname, th_get_uid, th_get_gid, th_get_mode, th_get_crc, th_get_size, th_get_mtime, th_get_devmajor, th_get_devminor,
th_get_linkname - extract individual fields of a tar header
TH_ISREG, TH_ISLNK, TH_ISSYM, TH_ISCHR, TH_ISBLK, TH_ISDIR, TH_ISFIFO - determine what kind of file a tar header refers to
TH_ISLONGNAME, TH_ISLONGLINK - determine whether the GNU extensions are in use
SYNOPSIS
#include <libtar.h>
char *th_get_linkname(TAR *t);
char *th_get_pathname(TAR *t);
mode_t th_get_mode(TAR *t);
uid_t th_get_uid(TAR *t);
gid_t th_get_gid(TAR *t);
int th_get_crc(TAR *t);
off_t th_get_size(TAR *t);

int TH_ISDIR(TAR *t);
int TH_ISFIFO(TAR *t);
int TH_ISLONGNAME(TAR *t);
int TH_ISLONGLINK(TAR *t);
VERSION
This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.
DESCRIPTION
The th_get_*() functions extract individual fields from the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_IS*() macros are used to evaluate what kind of file is pointed to by the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_ISLONGNAME() and TH_ISLONGLINK() macros evaluate whether or not the GNU extensions are used by the current tar header associated
with the TAR handle t. This is only relevant if the TAR_GNU option was used when tar_open() was called.
