|
|
|
|
`tar cf {{target.tar}} {{file1}} {{file2}} {{file3}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create a gzipped archive:
|
|
|
|
`tar czf {{target.tar.gz}} {{file1}} {{file2}} {{file3}}`
|
|
|
|
- Extract a (compressed) archive into the current directory:
|
|
|
|
`tar xf {{source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz]}}`
|
|
|
|
- Extract an archive into a target directory:
|
|
|
|
`tar xf {{source.tar}} -C {{directory}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create a compressed archive, using archive suffix to determine the compression program:
|
|
|
|
`tar caf {{target.tar.xz}} {{file1}} {{file2}} {{file3}}`
|
|
|
|
- List the contents of a tar file:
|
|
|
|
`tar tvf {{source.tar}}`

`tar xf {{source.tar}} --wildcards {{"*.html"}}`
