Compressing Files at the Shell Prompt

For compressing files you need to use the compression utilities:

bzip2 – tar.bz2 file
gzip – tar.gz file
zip – tar.zip file

To compress the tar file with gzip pass the -z option, run:

$ tar -cvzf docs.tar.gz /home/vivek/Documents/

To compress the tar file with bzip2 pass the -j option, run:

$ tar -cvjf docs.tar.bz2 /home/vivek/Documents/

To list the contents of a tar file, enter:

$ tar -tvf docs.tar
$ tar -tvzf docs.tar.gz
$ tar -tvjf docs.tar.bz2

To extract the contents of a tar file, enter:

$ tar -xvf docs.tar
$ tar -xvzf docs.tar.gz
$ tar -xvjf docs.tar.bz2
