tar 2

Cliff is a tar novice. Please explain all of the major tar options that he should have memorized within the next year as he prepares to become a RHEL-based LFCS professional.

Here are some of the major tar options that Cliff should have memorized as he prepares to become a RHEL-based LFCS professional:

1. -c: Creates a new archive.

This command creates a new tar archive called archive.tar and adds file1, file2, and file3 to it.

2. -x: Extracts the contents of an existing archive.

This command extracts the contents of the archive.tar file into the current directory.

3. -f: Specifies the name of the archive file.

This command creates a new tar archive called archive.tar and adds file1, file2, and file3 to it.

4. -v: Enables verbose output.

This command creates a new tar archive called archive.tar and adds file1, file2, and file3 to it. The -v option enables verbose output so that the user can see the progress of the archive creation.

5. -z: Compresses the archive using gzip.

This command creates a new compressed tar archive called archive.tar.gz and adds file1, file2, and file3 to it. The -z option tells tar to compress the archive using gzip.

6. -j: Compresses the archive using bzip2.

This command creates a new compressed tar archive called archive.tar.bz2 and adds file1, file2, and file3 to it. The -j option tells tar to compress the archive using bzip2.

7. -C: Changes to a different directory before creating the archive.

This command creates a new tar archive called archive.tar and adds the contents of the /home/user/documents directory to it. The -C option tells tar to change to the /home/user/documents directory before creating the archive.

These are just some of the major tar options that Cliff should have memorized as he prepares to become a RHEL-based LFCS professional. There are many more options available, and mastering tar will take time and practice, but these options will be a good starting point.
