Is there an existing such new check request for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Explain

The tar command defaults to reading from stdin, unless this default is changed at compile time or the TAPE environment variable is set.

To ensure consistent behavior, the -f or --file option should always be given to ensure the input device is chosen explicitly.

NonConsistentTarUsage: check tar without -f
7b1951b 
The ``tar`` command defaults to reading from stdin, unless this default is
changed at compile time or the ``TAPE`` environment variable is set.

To ensure consistent behavior, the ``-f`` or ``--file`` option should
always be given to ensure the input device is chosen explicitly.
