cli-tarHow do I use the gzip tar command?
The gzip tar
command is used to compress and archive multiple files and directories into a single file. It is commonly used to reduce the size of a file, and is often used in conjunction with the tar
command to create a compressed archive.
To use the gzip tar
command, use the following syntax:
tar -czvf <output-filename>.tar.gz <input-files-and-directories>
This will create a compressed archive <output-filename>.tar.gz
containing all of the files and directories specified in <input-files-and-directories>
.
The following flags are commonly used with the gzip tar
command:
-c
: Create an archive-z
: Compress the archive using gzip-v
: Verbose output-f
: Specify the output filename
For more information, see the GNU tar manual.
