Linux tar command usage

At the end of lifecycle. After the tar package is generated, you can use other programs to compress it. So let's first talk about the basic usage of the tar command:
There are many options for the tar command (which can be viewed using man TAR), but there are several commonly used options. The following is an example:
# Tar-CF all.tar *. jpg
This command is to pack all. jpg files into a package named all.tar. -C indicates that a new package is generated.-F specifies the package file name.
# Tar-RF all.tar *. gif
This command adds all .gif files to the package of all.tar. -R indicates adding files.
# Tar-UF all.tar logo.gif
This command is used to update the logo.gif file in tarbao all.tar.-u indicates that the file is updated.

# Tar-TF all.tar
This command is used to list all files in the all.tar package.-T is used to list objects.
# Tar-XF all.tar
This command is used to extract all the files in the all.tar package.
The above is the most basic usage of tar. To help you compress or decompress files while packing and unpackage,

Tar provides a special feature. This means that tar can call other compression programs while packaging or unpacking,

For example, gzip and Bzip2 are called.
1) tar calls Gzip
Gzipis a program developed by gnuorganization. The file ending with .gz is the result of gzip compression.

The decompress program relative to gzip is gunzip. Use the-Z parameter in tar to call gzip. The following is an example:
# Tar-CZF all.tar.gz *. jpg
This command is to compress all .jpg files into a tar package and use gzip to generate a gzip compressed package,

The package name is all.tar.gz.
# Tar-xzf all.tar.gz
This command unlocks the generated package.
2) tar call Bzip2
Bzip2is a more powerful compression program. The file ending with .bz2 is the result of Bzip2 compression.

The decompress program relative to Bzip2 is bunzip2. Use the-J parameter in tar to call gzip. The following is an example:
# Tar-CJF all.tar.bz2 *. jpg
This command is to compress all .jpg files into a tar package and use Bzip2,

Generate a bzip2compressed package named all.tar.bz2
# Tar-xjf all.tar.bz2
This command unlocks the generated package.
3) tar call Compress

Compress is also a compression program, but it seems that there are not as many people using compress as gzip and Bzip2.

The file ending with. Z is the result of Bzip2 compression. The decompress program relative to compress is uncompress.

Use the-Z parameter in tar to call gzip. The following is an example:
# Tar-CZF all.tar. z *. jpg
This command is to compress all .jpg files into a tar package,

Generate an uncompress compressed package named all.tar. Z
# Tar-xzf all.tar. Z
This command is used to unbind the generated package.

With the above knowledge, you should be able to uncompress a variety of compressed files. The following is a summary of the compressed files in the TAR series:
1st pair of files ending with .tar
Tar-XF all.tar
2XX for the file ending with .gz
Gzip-D all.gz
Gunzip all.gz
32.16.tgzor .tar.gz
Tar-xzf all.tar.gz
Tar-xzf all. tgz
4)for the file ending with .bz2
Bzip2-D all.bz2
Bunzip2 all.bz2
5 bytes for the file ending with tar.bz2
Tar-xjf all.tar.bz2
6) for files ending with. Z
Uncompress all. Z
72.16.tar. Z
Tar-xzf all.tar. Z

In addition, Linux has corresponding methods to decompress the compressed files .zipand .rar in Windows:
1)for. Zip
Linux provides zip and unzip programs, Zip is a compression program, and unzip is a decompression program. They have many Parameter options,

Here we will only give a brief introduction and give examples to illustrate its usage:
# Zip all.zip *. jpg
This command compresses all .jpg files into a zip package.

# Unzip all.zip
This command decompress all files in all.zip.

 

2XX vs. .rar

To process the. rar file in linux, you need to install RAR for Linux, which can be downloaded from the Internet, but remember that RAR for Linux is not free. then install:
# Tar-xzpvf rarlinux-3.2.0.tar.gz
# Cd RAR
# Make
After installation, there will be two programs, RAR and unrar. rar is a compression program, and unrar is a decompression program.

They have many Parameter options. Here we will only give a brief introduction and give examples to illustrate their usage:
# Rar a all *. jpg
This command is to compress all. jpg files into a rarpackage named all.rar. this program will

The extension name is automatically appended to the package name.
# Unrar e all.rar
This command is to extract all files from all.rar.
So far, we have introduced tar, Gzip, gunzip, Bzip2, bunzip2, compress,
