Not when using a wildcard, I think. That is done inside the shell, you can't feed a literal "*.gz" into tar and expect it to understand. So either you need to be in the directory, or specify the full path, for the shell to find the files before tar is called.
If you don't need wildcards, you might be able to do
to get it to archive all of /path/ indiscriminately.

Unix is great at giving you power were you need it, but what a pain in the rump when you just want to do such a simple thing like file management. I'm going back to Windows, crashing is frustrating, needing to spend 30 min just to zip a file up is crazy. (3 Replies)

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.
