Yes, it is. As described in GNU tar manual, section 6.3 "Reading Names from a File" [1]: In the file list given by `-T' option, any file name beginning with `-' character is considered a `tar' option and is processed accordingly. For example, the common use of this feature is to change to another directory by specifying `-C' option: > It would be much easier if one could force tar to consider the whole line as > file > name. I agree that an option to that effect is needed. I'll implement one and let you know when it is available. Regards, Sergey [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_48.html
