cli-tarHow do I use the tar command in the command line?
The tar command is a powerful tool for archiving and compressing files. It is used in the command line to create, extract, and modify archives.
To create an archive with tar, the basic syntax is:
tar -cf <archive_name.tar> <files_to_archive>The -c flag tells tar to create an archive, and the -f flag allows you to specify the file name of the archive.
To extract files from an archive, the basic syntax is:
tar -xf <archive_name.tar>The -x flag tells tar to extract the files from the archive, and the -f flag allows you to specify the file name of the archive.
Additionally, tar supports a variety of flags for modifying archives, such as -z for compressing with gzip, -j for compressing with bzip2, and -v for verbose output.
