@node quoting styles
@subsection Quoting Member Names
When displaying member names, @command{tar} takes care to avoid
ambiguities caused by certain characters. This is called @dfn{name
quoting}. The characters in question are:
@itemize @bullet
@item Non-printable control characters:
@multitable @columnfractions 0.20 0.10 0.60
@headitem Character @tab ASCII @tab Character name
@item \a @tab 7 @tab Audible bell
@item \b @tab 8 @tab Backspace
@item \f @tab 12 @tab Form feed
@item \n @tab 10 @tab New line
@item \r @tab 13 @tab Carriage return
@item \t @tab 9 @tab Horizontal tabulation
@item \v @tab 11 @tab Vertical tabulation
@end multitable
@item Space (ASCII 32)
@item Single and double quotes (@samp{'} and @samp{"})
@item Backslash (@samp{\})
@end itemize
The exact way @command{tar} uses to quote these characters depends on
the @dfn{quoting style}. The default quoting style, called
@dfn{escape} (see below), uses backslash notation to represent control
characters, space and backslash. Using this quoting style, control
characters are represented as listed in column @samp{Character} in the
above table, a space is printed as @samp{\ } and a backslash as @samp{\\}.
@GNUTAR{} offers seven distinct quoting styles, which can be selected
using @option{--quoting-style} option:
@table @option
@item --quoting-style=@var{style}
@opindex quoting-style
Sets quoting style. Valid values for @var{style} argument are:
literal, shell, shell-always, c, escape, locale, clocale.
@end table
These styles are described in detail below. To illustrate their
effect, we will use an imaginary tar archive @file{arch.tar}
containing the following members:
@smallexample
@group
# 1. Contains horizontal tabulation character.
a tab
# 2. Contains newline character
a
newline
# 3. Contains a space
a space
# 4. Contains double quotes
a"double"quote
# 5. Contains single quotes
a'single'quote
# 6. Contains a backslash character:
a\backslash
@end group
@end smallexample
Here is how usual @command{ls} command would have listed them, if they
had existed in the current working directory:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{ls}
a\ttab
a\nnewline
a\ space
a"double"quote
a'single'quote
a\\backslash
@end group
@end smallexample
Quoting styles:
@table @samp
@item literal
No quoting, display each character as is:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=literal}
./
./a space
./a'single'quote
./a"double"quote
./a\backslash
./a tab
./a
newline
@end group
@end smallexample
@item shell
Display characters the same way Bourne shell does:
control characters, except @samp{\t} and @samp{\n}, are printed using
backslash escapes, @samp{\t} and @samp{\n} are printed as is, and a
single quote is printed as @samp{\'}. If a name contains any quoted
characters, it is enclosed in single quotes. In particular, if a name
contains single quotes, it is printed as several single-quoted strings:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=shell}
./
'./a space'
'./a'\''single'\''quote'
'./a"double"quote'
'./a\backslash'
'./a tab'
'./a
newline'
@end group
@end smallexample
@item shell-always
Same as @samp{shell}, but the names are always enclosed in single
quotes:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=shell-always}
'./'
'./a space'
'./a'\''single'\''quote'
'./a"double"quote'
'./a\backslash'
'./a tab'
'./a
newline'
@end group
@end smallexample
@item c
Use the notation of the C programming language. All names are
enclosed in double quotes. Control characters are quoted using
backslash notations, double quotes are represented as @samp{\"},
backslash characters are represented as @samp{\\}. Single quotes and
spaces are not quoted:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=c}
"./"
"./a space"
"./a'single'quote"
"./a\"double\"quote"
"./a\\backslash"
"./a\ttab"
"./a\nnewline"
@end group
@end smallexample
@item escape
Control characters are printed using backslash notation, a space is
printed as @samp{\ } and a backslash as @samp{\\}. This is the
default quoting style, unless it was changed when configured the
package.
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=escape}
./
./a space
./a'single'quote
./a"double"quote
./a\\backslash
./a\ttab
./a\nnewline
@end group
@end smallexample
@item locale
Control characters, single quote and backslash are printed using
backslash notation. All names are quoted using left and right
quotation marks, appropriate to the current locale. If it does not
define quotation marks, use @samp{`} as left and @samp{'} as right
quotation marks. Any occurrences of the right quotation mark in a
name are escaped with @samp{\}, for example:
For example:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=locale}
`./'
`./a space'
`./a\'single\'quote'
`./a"double"quote'
`./a\\backslash'
`./a\ttab'
`./a\nnewline'
@end group
@end smallexample
@item clocale
Same as @samp{locale}, but @samp{"} is used for both left and right
quotation marks, if not provided by the currently selected locale:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=clocale}
"./"
"./a space"
"./a'single'quote"
"./a\"double\"quote"
"./a\\backslash"
"./a\ttab"
"./a\nnewline"
@end group
@end smallexample
@end table
You can specify which characters should be quoted in addition to those
implied by the current quoting style:
@table @option
@item --quote-chars=@var{string}
Always quote characters from @var{string}, even if the selected
quoting style would not quote them.
@end table
For example, using @samp{escape} quoting (compare with the usual
escape listing above):
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar tf arch.tar --quoting-style=escape --quote-chars=' "'}
./
./a\ space
./a'single'quote
./a\"double\"quote
./a\\backslash
./a\ttab
./a\nnewline
@end group
@end smallexample
To disable quoting of such additional characters, use the following
option:
@table @option
@item --no-quote-chars=@var{string}
Remove characters listed in @var{string} from the list of quoted
characters set by the previous @option{--quote-chars} option.
@end table
This option is particularly useful if you have added
@option{--quote-chars} to your @env{TAR_OPTIONS} (@pxref{TAR_OPTIONS})
and wish to disable it for the current invocation.
Note, that @option{--no-quote-chars} does @emph{not} disable those
characters that are quoted by default in the selected quoting style.

@section Modifying File and Member Names
@command{Tar} archives contain detailed information about files stored
in them and full file names are part of that information. When
storing file to an archive, its file name is recorded in the archive
along with the actual file contents. When restoring from an archive,
a file is created on disk with exactly the same name as that stored
in the archive. In the majority of cases this is the desired behavior
of a file archiver. However, there are some cases when it is not.
First of all, it is often unsafe to extract archive members with
absolute file names or those that begin with a @file{../}. @GNUTAR{}
takes special precautions when extracting such names and provides a
special option for handling them, which is described in
@xref{absolute}.
Secondly, you may wish to extract file names without some leading
directory components, or with otherwise modified names. In other
cases it is desirable to store files under differing names in the
archive.
@GNUTAR{} provides two options for these needs.
@table @option
@opindex strip-components
@item --strip-components=@var{number}
Strip given @var{number} of leading components from file names before
extraction.
@end table
For example, suppose you have archived whole @file{/usr} hierarchy to
a tar archive named @file{usr.tar}. Among other files, this archive
contains @file{usr/include/stdlib.h}, which you wish to extract to
the current working directory. To do so, you type:
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar -xf usr.tar --strip=2 usr/include/stdlib.h}
@end smallexample
The option @option{--strip=2} instructs @command{tar} to strip the
two leading components (@file{usr/} and @file{include/}) off the file
name.
If you add to the above invocation @option{--verbose} (@option{-v})
option, you will note that the verbose listing still contains the
full file name, with the two removed components still in place. This
can be inconvenient, so @command{tar} provides a special option for
altering this behavior:
@anchor{show-transformed-names}
@table @option
@opindex --show-transformed-names
@item --show-transformed-names
Display file or member names with all requested transformations
applied.
@end table
For example:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{tar -xf usr.tar -v --strip=2 usr/include/stdlib.h}
usr/include/stdlib.h
$ @kbd{tar -xf usr.tar -v --strip=2 --show-transformed usr/include/stdlib.h}
stdlib.h
@end group
@end smallexample
Notice that in both cases the file is @file{stdlib.h} extracted to the
current working directory, @option{--show-transformed-names} affects
only the way its name is displayed.
This option is especially useful for verifying whether the invocation
will have the desired effect. Thus, before running
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar -x --strip=@var{n}}
@end smallexample
@noindent
it is often advisable to run
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar -t -v --show-transformed --strip=@var{n}}
@end smallexample
@noindent
to make sure the command will produce the intended results.
In case you need to apply more complex modifications to the file name,
@GNUTAR{} provides a general-purpose transformation option:
@table @option
@opindex --transform
@item --transform=@var{expression}
Modify file names using supplied @var{expression}.
@end table
@noindent
The @var{expression} is a @command{sed}-like replace expression of the
form:
@smallexample
s/@var{regexp}/@var{replace}/[@var{flags}]
@end smallexample
@noindent
where @var{regexp} is a @dfn{regular expression}, @var{replace} is a
replacement for each file name part that matches @var{regexp}. Both
@var{regexp} and @var{replace} are described in detail in
@ref{The "s" Command, The "s" Command, The `s' Command, sed, GNU sed}.
Notice, however, that the following @command{sed}-specific escapes
are not supported in @var{replace}: @samp{\L}, @samp{\l}, @samp{\U},
@samp{\u}, @samp{\E}.
The supported @var{flags} are:
@table @samp
@item g
Apply the replacement to @emph{all} matches to the @var{regexp}, not
just the first.
@item i
Use case-insensitive matching
@item x
@var{regexp} is an @dfn{extended regular expression} (@pxref{Extended
regexps, Extended regular expressions, Extended regular expressions,
sed, GNU sed}.
@end table
Any delimiter can be used in lieue of @samp{/}, the only requirement being
that it be used consistently throughout the expression. For example,
the following two expressions are equivalent:
@smallexample
@group
s/one/two/
s,one,two,
@end group
@end smallexample
Changing of delimiter is often useful when the @var{regex} contains
slashes. For example, it is more convenient to write:
@smallexample
s,/,-,
@end smallexample
@noindent
instead of
@smallexample
s/\//-/
@end smallexample
Here are several examples of @option{--transform} usage:
@enumerate
@item Extract @file{usr/} hierarchy into @file{usr/local/}:
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar --transform='s,usr/,usr/local/,' -x arch.tar}
@end smallexample
@item Strip two leading directory components (equivalent to
@option{--strip-components=2}):
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar --transform='s,/*[^/]*/[^/]*/,,' -x arch.tar}
@end smallexample
@item Prepend @file{/prefix/} to each file name:
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar --transform 's,^,/prefix/,' -x arch.tar}
@end smallexample
@end enumerate
Unlike @option{--strip-components}, @option{--transform} can be used
in any @GNUTAR{} operation mode. For example, the following command
adds files to the archive while replacing the leading @file{usr/}
component with @file{var/}:
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar -cf arch.tar --transform='s,^usr/,var/,' /}
@end smallexample
To test @option{--transform} effect we suggest to use
@option{--show-transformed-names}:
@smallexample
$ @kbd{tar -cf arch.tar --transform='s,^usr/,var/,' \
--verbose --show-transformed-names /}
