cli-tarHow do I pack a tar file in Unix?
To pack a tar file in Unix, you need to use the tar
command. This command allows you to create tar archives, which are files that contain multiple files and directories.
Here is an example command to pack a tar file:
tar -cvf archive.tar file1.txt file2.txt directory1
This command will create a tar archive named archive.tar
that contains the files file1.txt
and file2.txt
as well as the directory directory1
.
The parts of the command are:
