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.
