cli-tarHow can I achieve maximum compression when using tar gzip?
In order to achieve maximum compression when using tar gzip, you can use the following command:
tar -zcvf archive_name.tar.gz directory_name
This command will create an archive file (archive_name.tar.gz) from the specified directory (directory_name). The 'z' flag indicates that the archive should be compressed with gzip, the 'c' flag indicates that the archive should be created, and the 'v' flag indicates that verbose output should be displayed.
The following list explains the parts of the command:
- tar: The command used to create an archive
- -z: Indicates that the archive should be compressed with gzip
- -c: Indicates that the archive should be created
- -v: Indicates that verbose output should be displayed
- archive_name.tar.gz: The name of the archive file
- directory_name: The name of the directory to be archived
