------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
`-a` | `--auto-compress` | use archive suffix to determine the compression program
|
|
`-c` | `--create` | create a new archive; directories are archived recursively, unless the `--no-recursion` option is given
|
|
`-C` | `--directory DIR` | change to DIR before performing any operations; this option affects all options that follow
|
|
`-f` | `--file FILE` | use archive file or device FILE; if not given, tar will first examine the environment variable `TAPE` and default to the compiled-in default
|
|
`-r` | `--append` | append files to the end of an archive
|
|
`-t` | `--list` | list the contents of an archive; arguments are optional, but when given they specify the names of the members to list
