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’). Prevents tar from replacing files in the file system during extraction.
