cli-tarHow do I use the Unix tar command?
The Unix tar command is used to create, extract, and manipulate files and directories in an archive format.
To create an archive, use the following command:
tar -cvf archive.tar directory_nameThis command will create an archive called archive.tar that contains all the files and directories in directory_name.
To extract an archive, use the following command:
tar -xvf archive.tarThis command will extract all the files and directories in archive.tar into the current working directory.
To list the contents of an archive, use the following command:
tar -tvf archive.tarThis command will list the contents of archive.tar in the terminal.
The tar command has many other options that can be used to modify the behavior of the command. For more information, see the GNU tar Manual.
