Keep Old Files
- ‘--keep-old-files’
- ‘-k’
Do not replace existing files from archive. The ‘--keep-old-files’ (‘-k’) option prevents
tar
from replacing existing files with files with the same name from the archive. The ‘--keep-old-files’ option is meaningless with ‘--list’ (‘-t’). Preventstar
from replacing files in the file system during extraction.
