Your suggestion already recorded on my Notes Database. Why not read man page, Somthing command, like rm, will be omit.

It was hard for us (and believe me, I know of what I speak); it should be hard for you. You'll be a better person for it.

Yes. The man pages for some commands, like 'tar' and 'cpio', *are* gibberish. As a long time Unix user, who uses both of these commands on a daily basis, I find the man pages absurd. The point is, there's only a few things you need to know about either command; i.e., there's only a few command variations that you'll ever use. You have to learn how to scan the man pages, ignoring the fluff, and pick out the pieces that matter. This is particularly so with the 'cpio' man page.

Whatever - you should check the man pages first because if the answer is there then that approach is usually quicker and easier for you than typing up a question to post here, and it's always quicker and easier for us :-).
