compression:
TAR -ZCF After compression file name .tar.gz is compressed file .doc
-c is a new file; -f is output to the default device, you can use it as a must add option, and -z is the compression function of borrowing Gzip (compression program).
Unzip:
TAR -ZXVF compressed file .tar.gz
-v, that is, packaging and compression or decompression process, -x is unproof
-------------------------------------------
Just want to compress the decompression to remember the above.
TAR is only packaged, the file size before the package is as large after packaging, you need to make it compressed to borrow function to the Gzip.
