Linux compression commands (tar,gzip,zip)

Packaging and compression. Packaging refers to a large number of files or directories into a total file, compression is a large file through some compression algorithm into a small file.

This is due to the many compression programs in Linux that can only be compressed for one file, so that when you want to compress a lot of files, you have to first make the whole heap of files into a package (tar command), and then compress with the compression program.
