>Description:
-X flag in synopis and usage is listed among other flags and should be separeted like -T flag
>How-To-Repeat:
Write 'man tar' and you'll get SYNOPSIS:
tar [-]{crtux}[-014578befHhJjklmOoPpqSvwXZz] [archive] [blocksize]
         [-C directory] [-s replstr] [-T file] [file ...]

Write 'tar: and you'll get:
usage: tar [-]{crtux}[-befhjklmopqvwzHJOPSXZ014578] [archive] [blocksize]
           [-C directory] [-T file] [-s replstr] [file ...]

>Fix:
You need to improve the tar SYNOPSIS for X flag:
tar [-]{crtux}[-014578befHhJjklmOoPpqSvwZz] [archive] [blocksize]
         [-C directory] [-s replstr] [-T file] [-X file] [file ...]

You need to improve the tar usage descritpion for X flag:
usage: tar [-]{crtux}[-befhjklmopqvwzHJOPSZ014578] [archive] [blocksize]
           [-C directory] [-T file] [-X file] [-s replstr] [file ...]
