      It should, as long as you don’t try to abbreviate it as tar -h though… the short form is tar -? which illustrates the joke nicely

      Probably not, the double-dash long commandline option is a GNU extension and isn’t guaranteed to work with every tar implementation.

        what? 3 seconds for “tar --help”???, I could type that out faster in my phone? In a physical keyboard you could type thar in a fraction of a second?
