cli-tarHow do I compress a file using gzip and tar.xz?
To compress a file using gzip and tar.xz, you can use the following command:
tar -cvJf <file_name>.tar.xz <file_name>This command will create a tar archive file named <file_name>.tar.xz which is compressed with xz.
You can also compress the file with gzip, using the following command:
tar -cvzf <file_name>.tar.gz <file_name>This command will create a tar archive file named <file_name>.tar.gz which is compressed with gzip.
You can also combine these two commands, to compress the file using both gzip and xz, using the following command:
tar -cvJf <file_name>.tar.xz -cvzf <file_name>.tar.gz <file_name>This command will create two tar archive files, <file_name>.tar.xz and <file_name>.tar.gz, which are compressed with xz and gzip respectively.
