<p dir="ltr">Great, thanks for the confirmation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Did you hear anything about how to achieve -O|--to-stdout when<br>
extracting (-x) a specific file?</p>
<p dir="ltr">So far, the only alternative seems to be to tell the users to<br>
install either GNU tar or BSD tar and use that with bpkg. But<br>
I wonder if there is a way to achieve the same with the base<br>
tools. I skimmed through the pax man page but couldn't see<br>
anything promising.<br>
