[-C directory] [-T file] [-s replstr] [file ...]
>Fix:

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 ...]
