cli-tarHow do I use tar commands on Linux?
The tar command is a powerful tool used to create and extract archives on Linux systems.
To create an archive, use the following command:
tar -cvf <name_of_archive>.tar <files_to_archive>The -c option creates a new archive, -v enables verbose output, and -f specifies the filename of the archive.
To extract an archive, use the following command:
tar -xvf <name_of_archive>.tarThe -x option extracts the contents of the archive, and -v again enables verbose output.
The following options are also useful when working with tar:
-z: Compress the archive using gzip-j: Compress the archive using bzip2-C: Extract the archive to a specified directory
For more information about tar and its options, please refer to the tar man page.
