@scrutinizer / @neo......
Thank you for your post guys but........
AFAIR vz will only be interpreted as the archive name if there is whitespace between the cf and vz as in cf vz, which the OP isn't doing.
There is no suggestion that the OP is starting his/her switch string with anything other than a mode switch; c, x, or t, and after that surely the switch order doesn't matter (provided any required arguments for those switches on the command line are given in the same order as the switches).
I guess any/all moderators on here could answer this once the OP posts the full command lines s/he is using.
I repeat, until that happens, we are all in the dark.

Hi,
when I extract a TAR archive by tar -xf file.tar
the file.tar file stays on disk. Then I need two time the disk space.
How can I avoid that ? How to ask not to keep file.tar ?
Many thanks. (8 Replies)

getopt::std
Getopt::Std(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Getopt::Std(3pm)
NAME
getopt - Process single-character switches with switch clustering
getopts - Process single-character switches with switch clustering
SYNOPSIS
use Getopt::Std;
getopt('oDI'); # -o, -D & -I take arg. Sets $opt_* as a side effect.
getopt('oDI', \%opts); # -o, -D & -I take arg. Values in %opts
getopts('oif:'); # -o & -i are boolean flags, -f takes an argument
# Sets $opt_* as a side effect.
getopts('oif:', \%opts); # options as above. Values in %opts
DESCRIPTION
The getopt() function processes single-character switches with switch clustering. Pass one argument which is a string containing all
switches that take an argument. For each switch found, sets $opt_x (where x is the switch name) to the value of the argument if an argu-
ment is expected, or 1 otherwise. Switches which take an argument don't care whether there is a space between the switch and the argument.
The getopts() function is similar, but you should pass to it the list of all switches to be recognized. If unspecified switches are found
on the command-line, the user will be warned that an unknown option was given.
Note that, if your code is running under the recommended "use strict 'vars'" pragma, you will need to declare these package variables with
"our":
our($opt_x, $opt_y);
For those of you who don't like additional global variables being created, getopt() and getopts() will also accept a hash reference as an
optional second argument. Hash keys will be x (where x is the switch name) with key values the value of the argument or 1 if no argument
is specified.
To allow programs to process arguments that look like switches, but aren't, both functions will stop processing switches when they see the
argument "--". The "--" will be removed from @ARGV.
