A tarball is a (usually) compressed file that contains one
\nor more other files and was created using the UNIX\/GNU
\ntar program and (optionally) a compression program like gzip.<\/p>\n

Tar with compression is similar to the use of PKZIP (WinZip,
\nor ZIP or similar).\u00a0 TAR is Tape ARchive and is designed to
\ngroup one or more files in an archive to a file or media.\u00a0 Files are
\narchived with owner, permissions, path, etc.\u00a0 For more info,
\nRTFM man page on tar.\u00a0 Also note, CPIO (used internally by RPM)
\nis another archive format widely used (not addressed herein).<\/p>\n

Unlike RPM, tar files do not contain any pre-install or post-install
\nscripts, dependency information, nor any other information like
\ndescription, etc. (for example, use rpm –querytags to see a list
\nof what RPM can provide).<\/p>\n

Linux\/UNIX use several compression formats:<\/h2>\n
GZIP      -- GNU ZIP (a fast compression similar to PKZIP)\r\nZIP       -- PKZIP compatible compression (long file names)\r\nBZ\/BZ2    -- BZIP and BZIP2 -- new, slower but generate smaller files\r\nZ         -- UNIZ compress (not as good nor as fast as GZIP)\r\nLZ        -- LZ compression (not widely used)\r\n<\/pre>\n
Standard suffixes (usually mapped to mime types):<\/h2>\n
.gz   -- file is compressed with GZIP (gzip or gzip.exe)\r\n.tgz  -- tar file compressed with GZIP\r\n.Z    -- file if compressed with older UNIX compress\r\n.bz   -- file is compressed with bzip (new, replaced by bz2)\r\n.bz2  -- file is compressed with bzip2 (new, better than gzip\/pkzip)\r\n.zip  -- file is compressed with zip (pkzip or compat., zip)\r\n               typically ZIP is not used with tar, but an archive\r\n               may contain a tar file\r\n.tar.gz or .tar.Z or .tar.bz or .tar.bz2  -- file is a tar file\r\n               with compression (see suffixes above, e.g., gz)<\/pre>\n
File extraction:<\/h2>\n
file.tar              -- tar file w\/o compression\r\n   tar tvf file.tar   -- test the file [ALWAYS DO FIRST]\r\n   tar xvf file.tar   -- extract the file<\/pre>\n
file.tar.gz or .tgz or .Z:\r\n   tar -tvzf file.tgz  -- test\r\n   tar -xvzf file.tgz  -- extract\r\n   tar -xvvzf archiv.tar.gz -- extract\r\n   gunzip -cd file.tgz | tar xvf -    -- use with older\r\n                                            non-zip aware TAR\r\n                                            (e.g., Solaris)<\/pre>\n
file.bz:\r\n   bzip -cd file.bz | tar xvf -\r\n\r\nfile.bz2\r\n   bzip2 -cd file.bz | tar xvf -\r\n<\/pre>\n
File creation:<\/h2>\n
tar cvzf file.tgz [list of files to compress]\r\ntar cvf - [file list] | gzip >file.tgz\r\ntar cvf - [file list] |  bzip2 >file.tar.bz2\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Use of TAR to copy a directory tree (with permissions, recursive, etc.):<\/p>\n
This should be a program like dircopy or xcopy<\/p>\n
   cd source_directory\r\n   tar cvf - * |  ( cd dest_dir ; tar xvf - )\r\n<\/pre>\n
Beispiel<\/h1>\n
Archive mit Inhalt von \/etc und \/home erstellen:<\/p>\n
tar cvf test.tar \/etc\/ \/home\/\r\ntar cvf - \/etc \/home | gzip > test.tar.gz\r\ntar czvf test.tar.gz \/etc\/ \/home\/         # *GNU tar* Kurzform\r\n<\/pre>\n
Archive entpacken:<\/h2>\n
tar xvf test.tar\r\ngunzip < test.tar.gz | tar xvf -\r\ntar xzvf test.tar.gz                      # *GNU tar* Kurzform\r\n<\/pre>\n
Archivinhalt ansehen:<\/h2>\n
tar tvf test.tar\r\ngunzip < test.tar.gz | tar tf -\r\ntar tzvf test.tar.gz                      # *GNU tar* Kurzform\r\n<\/pre>\n
