Howdy, dashielljt:

 I was thinking along the same lines.  I am only familiar
with the last option being 'f'.  Yet I noticed that the 'b'
command needs an operator too.  Perhaps the operators are
appended in the same order they are requested by the options.
'f' filename.ext or /dev/*
'b' block size
'k' ?
 i.e.
tar cvfbk /dev/fd0 1440 4 /
      \\\
       \\k = 4
        \b = 1440
         f = /dev/fd0
?
HTH, Chuck
