        tar xzf ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz

        Not really.  Tar is one of those inconsistent commands, like find,
or
        dd.  When you specify options that have parameters, the parameters
        have to follow, but merely in the same order.  Options that don't
have
        parameters can appear in any order.
