About tar and gzip commands
Hi folks,


OBSD 4.1

Can you please shed me some light to compress a directory as .tar.gz file with tar and gzip commands in one pass?

$ tar cpf - /path/to/Directory | gzip > Directory.tar.gz
???

and how to redecompress it to a designated directory, also in one pass?

TIA


B.R.

OpenBSD (at least since 4.0) now supports the -z command for tar . So you can do this:
tar zcf directory.tar.gz /path/to/directory/*
and to unzip and extract:
tar zxf directory.tar.gz

Noted with tks.

What is the difference between .tar.gz and .tgz? Are they the same?
