# tar
|
|
|
|
> Archiving utility.
|
|
> Often combined with a compression method, such as `gzip` or `bzip2`.
|
|
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/tar>.

|
- [c]reate an archive and write it to a [f]ile:
|
|
|
|
`tar cf {{path/to/target.tar}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- [c]reate a g[z]ipped archive and write it to a [f]ile:
|
|
|
|
`tar czf {{path/to/target.tar.gz}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- [c]reate a g[z]ipped archive from a directory using relative paths:
|
|
|
|
`tar czf {{path/to/target.tar.gz}} --directory={{path/to/directory}} .`
|
|
|
|
- E[x]tract a (compressed) archive [f]ile into the current directory [v]erbosely:
|
|
|
|
`tar xvf {{path/to/source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz]}}`
|
|
|
|
- E[x]tract a (compressed) archive [f]ile into the target directory:
|
|
|
|
`tar xf {{path/to/source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz]}} --directory={{path/to/directory}}`
|
|
|
|
- [c]reate a compressed archive and write it to a [f]ile, using the file extension to [a]utomatically determine the compression program:
|
|
|
|
`tar caf {{path/to/target.tar.xz}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Lis[t] the contents of a `tar` [f]ile [v]erbosely:
|
|
|
|
`tar tvf {{path/to/source.tar}}`
|
|
|
|
- E[x]tract files matching a pattern from an archive [f]ile:
|
|
|
|
`tar xf {{path/to/source.tar}} --wildcards "{{*.html}}"`
