For example, some versions of tar (not GNU tar) require that the -f option be immediately followed by a space and the name of the tar archive file. When using the tar command, the order of the options sometimes matters. To extract the contents of a tar archive file compressed with compress (for example, my_), use the following command: uncompress -c my_ | tar -xvf - Additional information

If you are not using GNU tar and need to extract the contents of a tar archive file compressed with gzip (for example, my_), use the following command: gunzip -c my_ | tar -xvf. To extract the contents of a tar archive file compressed with gzip (for example, my_), use the following command: tar -xvzf my_ To extract the contents of a tar archive file created by tar (for example, my_files.tar), use the following command: tar -xvf my_files.tar If gzip isn't available on your system, you can use the compress utility to create a compressed archive (for example, my_) for example (replace file1 and file2 with the names of the files you want to combine): tar -cvf - file1 file2 | compress > my_ Extract the contents of an archive file

If your system does not use GNU tar, but nonetheless has gzip, you can create a compressed tar archive file (for example my_ with the following command (replace file1 and file2 with the names of the files you want to combine): tar -cvf - file1 file2 | gzip > my_ tar.gz are equivalent both signify a tar archive file compressed with gzip.

In the above examples, the -z option tells tar to use gzip to compress the archive as it is created.

To use tar and gzip to combine all the files in a directory into a compressed archive file (for example, my_), use the following command (replace /path/to/my/directory with the absolute path to the directory containing the files you want to combine):.

To use tar and gzip to combine multiple files into a compressed archive file (for example, my_), use the following command (replace file1 and file2 with the names of the files you want to combine):.

If your system uses GNU tar, you can use tar in conjunction with the gzip file compression utility to combine multiple files into a compressed archive file.

Many Linux distributions use GNU tar, a version of tar produced by the Free Software Foundation.

The -v option tells tar to be verbose (report all files as they are added).

If you don't use the -f option, tar will assume you want to create a tape archive instead of combining a number of files.

You can use any name in place of my_files.tar, but you should keep the.

To combine all the files in a directory into a single archive file (for example, my_files.tar), use the following command (replace /path/to/my/directory with the absolute path to the directory containing the files you want to combine): tar -cvf my_files.tar /path/to/my/directory To combine multiple files into a single archive file (for example, my_files.tar), use the following command (replace file1 and file2 with the names of the files you want to combine): tar -cvf my_files.tar file1 file2 Additionally, you can use tar in conjunction with a compression utility, such as gzip or compress, to create a compressed archive file.

In Unix and Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux), you can use the tar command (short for 'tape archiving') to combine multiple files into a single archive file for easy storage and/or distribution.

Extract the contents of an archive file.
