The tar
command line is a powerful tool for creating archives of files and directories. Here is an example of how to use it to create an archive:
tar -cvf myarchive.tar /path/to/files/
This command will create an archive named myarchive.tar
with the contents of the /path/to/files/
directory.
The parts of the command are:
tar
: the name of the command-cvf
: the flags that specify the type of archive to create and the name of the archivemyarchive.tar
: the name of the archive to be created/path/to/files/
: the path to the directory whose contents should be archived
