pg_restore -L option

Could someone clarify the use of the –L option in pg_restore?  I have a pg_dump of a database (options –Ft –b) and I want to restore most of the dump with the exception of one table into another database.  Can I do the following?:

1)       restore the tar file of the dump into a “list” file with pg_restore –l

2)       comment out the line for the table that I want to exclude, and

3)       restore the tar file with the following command: pg_restore –a –L <list file> -d <dbname> <tar file name>

 

Thanks in advance for your response?
