Hello Anton.

although it should print the error message?
Why?
Option '--block' takes an argument, and arguments can be anything, even
the name of another option. Just try any program out there:
$ tar -cf --quiet lzip-1.15-pre1
$ tar -tf --quiet
lzip-1.15-pre1/
lzip-1.15-pre1/AUTHORS
lzip-1.15-pre1/COPYING
lzip-1.15-pre1/ChangeLog
[...]
$ rm -- --quiet
$
Here 'tar' creates and lists the file '--quiet' as it was commanded to
do. (Instead of '--quiet' you can use the name of any tar option).
Regards,
Antonio.
