    I hope whoever thought -l should mean “check links” instead of list has a special place in Hell set aside for them.

    I have no idea what print a message if not all links are dumped even means.

    No no it’s this:

    1. Decide you’ve gotta use tar.

    2. man tar

    3. Guess-and-check the flags until it seems to work.

    4. Immediately forget the flags.

    I don’t think tar is actually hard, we are just in the time where we externalize more information into resources such as Google. Its the same reason why younger people don’t remember routes by name or cardinal direction as much anymore.

    side note: $ tldr is much better than man for just getting common stuff done.
