I want to make a tarball of a directory, but excluding all files that end with .foo, except for one specific file. This excludes all files with .foo as ending:



tar czf "$nameTarball" dir/ --exclude '*.foo'


What I'm missing is some sort of --include option. Does it exist?
I'm using GNU tar 1.23.

          There is no --include-style option in GNU tar as far as I’m aware.



          In GNU tar, later versions (starting with 1.29) treat --exclude and other filename-selection options in a position-sensitive fashion, so they only affects arguments after them on the command line. So you can include files by naming them before the --exclude option:



          tar czf "$nameTarball" dir/specific.foo --exclude '*.foo' dir/

          • A typical tar implementation that is part of an operating system distro supports -I. This has been added to BSD tar (not bsdtar) in the late 1980s. But If a filename is in the -X file as well, itis excluded. Note that --exclude is a non-portable vendor unique GNU tar extension.

          • @schily GNU tar supports both -T (equivalent to BSD’s -I, where -T also works) and -X, but as you imply they’re not helpful in this situation since the exclusions given by -X have greater precedence than the files given by -T.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
