GNU ’tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual files from the archive.
Usage
ft_tar [OPTION]... [FILE]...
If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory for the equivalent short option also. Similarly for optional arguments.
Main operation mode:
-t, --list list the contents of an archive
-x, --extract, --get extract files from an archive
-c, --create create a new archive
-r, --append append files to the end of an archive
-u, --update only append files newer than copy in archive
Operation modifiers:
-k, --keep-old-files don't overwrite existing files when extracting
-U, --unlink-first remove each file prior to extracting over it
--recursive-unlink empty hierarchies prior to extracting directory
-O, --to-stdout extract files to standard output
Device selection and switching:
-f, --file=ARCHIVE use archive file or device ARCHIVE
Archive format selection:
-z, --gzip, --ungzip filter the archive through gzip
Informative output:
--help print this help, then exit
--version print tar program version number, then exit
-v, --verbose verbosely list files processed
FILE may be a file or a device.
*This* `tar' defaults to `-f- -b20'.
