An Explanation of .tar
Tar Activity
John Daniels The .tar is a archiving utility in Linux that allows compression using the zip or gzip formats. The following are commands one would use to create an archive. Tar c is used to create the tar arc.
f is used to name the directory so for example tar cf stuff.tgz
v sets verbose mode so you can see whats happening
z allows you to compress the archive So for example to compress a directory named stuff to an archive named stuff the command would be: tar cfz stuff.tgz stuff where the first stuff is the name of the new archive and the second is the name of the folder being compressed. If you want to get files from multiple directories you do a command similar to searches. To put all jpegs in an arhive stuff you would tar cfz stuff.tgz *.jpg The x command is used to ungroup and or uncompress the archives. It will ungroup the files into the current directory. If you want to use a different directory switch to it or make it if it does not exist with the mkdir command. Finally, if you want to extract individual files you can do so with the following example: tar x stuff.tgz pic001.jpg John Daniels is a former High School teacher turned computer technician.
