I'm talking about GNU tar which is used with FeeBSD. From man page:
 -T file
 --files-from file       Get names of files to extract or create from
                         file, one per line.

 -t
 --list         List the contents of an archive; if filename arguments are
                    given, only those files are listed, otherwise the entire
                    table of contents is listed.

I wish _ADD_ files with specified names to archive and not _SHOW_ content of
archive :-)
