* **`--lsm` _file_** : Provide a Linux Software Map (LSM) file to makeself, that will be embedded in the generated archive. LSM files are describing a software package in a way that is easily parseable. The LSM entry can then be later retrieved using the `--lsm` argument to the archive.
* **`--tar-format opt`** : Specify the tar archive format (default is ustar); you may use any value accepted by your tar command (such as posix, v7, etc).
* **`--tar-extra opt`** : Append more options to the tar command line.
* **`--target dir`** : Specify the directory where the archive will be extracted.

For instance, in order to exclude the `.git` directory from the packaged archive directory using the GNU `tar`, one can use `makeself.sh --tar-extra "--exclude=.git" ...`
