Zip and unzip the tar command for Linux files

Tar is a linux system command, format: tar [main option + Secondary options] file or directory.

Tar command
1. The tar command is a reliable way to back up files in a unix/linux system and works in almost any environment, with permissions for all users.
2. Format tar [main option + Secondary options] file or directory
3. Main parameters
When using this command, the main option is required, and it tells Tar what to do, auxiliary options are auxiliary and can be used.
3.1 Main options:
-C Create a new profile. Select this option if the user wants to back up a directory or some files.
-R appends the file to be archived to the end of the archive file. For example, the user is ready to backup files, and found that there is a directory or some files forgot to back up, you can use this option to append the forgotten directories or files to the backup file.
-T lists the contents of the archive to see which files have been backed up.
-U update file. That is, replace the original backup file with the new file, if the file you want to update is not found in the backup file, append it to the end of the backup file.
-X releases the file from the archive file.
3.2 Auxiliary Options:
-B This option is set for the tape drive, followed by a number to indicate the size of the chunk, with a system preset value of 20x512 bytes.
-F using a profile or device, this option is usually required.
-K saves the file that already exists. For example, restoring a file, encountering the same file during the restore process, does not overwrite it.
-M when restoring files, set the modification time of all files to.
-M creates multiple volumes of files for storage on several disks.
-V Details the file information processed by tar. Without this option, TAR does not report file information.
-W each step requires confirmation.
-j represents the use of ' bzip2 ' program for file compression
-j represents a call to "XZ" program for file compression (but not in the RHEL5 1.53 above, can be used on the top of the RHEL6 2.23)
-Z Compress/unzip the file with gzip, plus this option to compress the archive file, but you must also use this option to decompress when restoring.
