cli-tarHow do I tar and gzip data from stdin?
Tar is a program used to archive and compress files or directories. Gzip is a program used to compress files. To tar and gzip data from stdin, the following command can be used:
$ tar -czf - <input_file>This command will compress the <input_file> and output the result to stdout.
The code can be broken down into the following parts:
tar- the program used to archive and compress files-czf- flags used to indicate that the command should create a tar archive and compress it with gzip-- the output should be written to stdout<input_file>- the file to be archived and compressed
The output of this command will be the compressed tar archive written to stdout.
