cli-tarHow do I use a command line interface to create a TAR file?
A command line interface (CLI) can be used to create a TAR file, which is an archive file format that combines multiple files into one file. To create a TAR file, the tar
command is used. For example, to create a TAR file containing the files file1.txt
and file2.txt
, the following command can be used:
tar -cf files.tar file1.txt file2.txt
The command above will create a TAR file named files.tar
which contains the two files specified. The parts of the command are as follows:
tar
- The command to create a TAR file-cf
- The flags used to indicate the command should create a filefiles.tar
- The name of the TAR file to be createdfile1.txt
&file2.txt
- The files to be included in the TAR file

command please refer to the following links:
