DESCRIPTION | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
This manual page documents the GNU version of tar, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from an archive file known as a tarfile. A tarfile may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common to write a tarfile to a normal file. The first argument to tar must be one of the options Acdrtux, followed by any optional functions. The final arguments to tar are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be included in the archive.
EXAMPLES | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
verbosely extract foo.tar
extract gzipped foo.tar.gz
create bzipped tar archive of the directory bar called foo.tar.bz2
extract bzipped foo.tar.bz2 after changing directory to bar
extract the file blah.txt from foo.tar.gz
FUNCTION LETTERS | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
append tar files to an archive
create a new archive
find differences between archive and file system
append files to the end of an archive
list the contents of an archive
only append files that are newer than the existing in archive
extract files from an archive
delete from the archive (not for use on mag tapes!)
COMMON OPTIONS | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
change to directory DIR
Use archive file or device F (default "-", meaning stdin/stdout). Note that "/dev/stdout" is not equivalent to "-". Using "/dev/stdout" explicitly can lead to corrupted archive, especially when coupled with "-v".
filter archive through bzip2, use to decompress .bz2 files
extract all protection information
verbosely list files processed
filter the archive through gzip
ALL OPTIONS | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
don't change access times on dumped files
block size of Nx512 bytes (default N=20)
reblock as we read (for reading 4.2BSD pipes)
backup files instead of deleting them using BACKUP-TYPE simple or numbered
block the output of compression program for tapes
change to directory DIR
warn if number of hard links to the file on the filesystem mismatch the number of links recorded in the archive
print directory names while reading the archive
Use archive file or device F (default "-", meaning stdin/stdout). Note that "/dev/stdout" is not equivalent to "-". Using "/dev/stdout" explicitly can lead to corrupted archive, especially when coupled with "-v".
run script at end of each tape (implies --multi-volume)
archive file is local even if has a colon
selects output archive format
v7 - Unix V7 oldgnu - GNU tar <=1.12 gnu - GNU tar 1.13 ustar - POSIX.1-1988 posix - POSIX.1-2001
create/list/extract new GNU-format incremental backup
create/list/extract old GNU-format incremental backup
don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
like this manpage, but not as cool
ignore blocks of zeros in archive (normally mean EOF)
ignore case when excluding files
don't exit with non-zero status on unreadable files
send verbose output to FILE instead of stdout
filter archive through bzip2, use to decompress .bz2 files
keep existing files; don't overwrite them from archive
begin at file F in the archive
do not overwrite files which are newer than the archive
stay in local file system when creating an archive
change tapes after writing N*1024 bytes
don't extract file modified time
create/list/extract multi-volume archive
apply PERMISSIONS while adding files (see chmod(1))
only store files newer than DATE
like --newer, but with a DATE
match any subsequenceof the name's components with --exclude
use case-sensitive matching with --exclude
don't recurse into directories
apply user's umask when extracting files instead of recorded permissions
don't use wildcards with --exclude
wildcards do not match slashes (/) with --exclude
--files-from reads null-terminated names, disable --directory
always use numbers for user/group names
like --format=v7; -o exhibits this behavior when creating an archive (deprecated behavior)
do not attempt to restore ownership when extracting; -o exhibits this behavior when extracting an archive
extract files to standard output
process only the NUMth occurrence of each named file; used with --delete, --diff, --extract, or --list. NUM defaults to 1.
overwrite existing files and directory metadata when extracting
overwrite directory metadata when extracting
change owner of extraced files to USER
extract all protection information
don't strip leading `/'s from file names
used only with POSIX.1-2001 archives to modify the way tar handles extended header keywords
like --format=posix
like --preserve-permissions --same-order
this option causes tar to store each file's ACLs in the archive.
this option causes tar to store each file's SELinux security context information in the archive.
this option causes tar to store each file's extended attributes in the archive. This option also enables --acls and--selinux if they haven't been set already, due to the fact that the data for those are stored in special xattrs.
This option causes tar not to store each file's ACLs in the archive and not to extract any ACL information in an archive.
this option causes tar not to store each file's SELinux security context information in the archive and not to extract any SELinux information in an archive.
this option causes tar not to store each file's extended attributes in the archive and not to extract any extended attributes in an archive. This option also enables --no-acls and --no-selinux if they haven't been set already.
show record number within archive with each message
use SIZE bytes per record when accessing archives
recurse into directories
remove existing directories before extracting directories of the same name
remove files after adding them to the archive
use CMD instead of the default /usr/sbin/rmt
use remote CMD instead of rsh(1)
list of names to extract is sorted to match archive
handle sparse files efficiently
create extracted files with the same ownership
display the default options used by tar
print directories tar skips while operating on an archive
strip NUMBER of leading components from file names before extraction
(1) tar-1.14 uses --strip-path, tar-1.14.90+ uses --strip-components
use SUFFIX instead of default '~' when backing up files
get names to extract or create from file F
print total bytes written with --create
remove existing files before extracting files of the same name
access the archive through PROG which is generally a compression program
display file modification dates in UTC
verbosely list files processed
create archive with volume name NAME
print tar program version number
keep track of which volume of a multi-volume archive its working in FILE; used with --multi-volume
ask for confirmation for every action
attempt to verify the archive after writing it
use wildcards with --exclude
wildcards match slashes (/) with --exclude
exclude files based upon PATTERN
exclude files listed in FILE
filter the archive through compress
filter the archive through gzip
filter the archive through PROG (which must accept -d)
specify drive and density
BUGS | Début | Précédent | Suivant | Sommaire | Préc.page.lue | Accueil |
The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead. The maintainer of tar falls into this category. Thus this man page may not be complete, nor current, and was included in the Red Hat CVS tree because man is a great tool :). This man page was first taken from Debian Linux and has since been loving updated here.
