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>.tar
The -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.
