TAR–CVF Jpg.tar *.jpg//pack all JPG files in the directory into tar.jpg

TAR–CZF jpg.tar.gz *.jpg//packages all JPG files in the directory into Jpg.tar, and then compresses them with gzip, generating a gzip-compressed package named jpg.tar.gz

TAR–CJF jpg.tar.bz2 *.jpg//packages all JPG files in the directory into Jpg.tar, and uses bzip2 compression to generate a BZIP2 compressed package named jpg.tar.bz2

TAR–CZF jpg.tar.z *.jpg//packages all JPG files in the directory into Jpg.tar, and uses compress compression to generate a umcompress compressed package named Jpg.tar.z

RAR a jpg.rar *.jpg//rar format compression, you need to download RAR for Linux
