How do you package a directory in Linux?

In Linux, the tar command can be used to package a directory. It can bundle either a directory or multiple files into a single file.

Here is a basic usage of the tar command:

tar -cvf <目标文件名.tar> <要打包的目录>

-c creates a new archive file, -v displays a detailed packaging process, and -f specifies the name of the packaged file.

For example, if you want to package a directory named “myfolder,” you can use the following command:

tar -cvf myfolder.tar myfolder

This will create a packaged file named “myfolder.tar” in the current directory, containing all files and subdirectories from the “myfolder” directory.

To unzip the packaged file, you can use the following command:

tar -xvf <目标文件名.tar>

“-x indicates to decompress the archived file.”

For example, to decompress a file named “myfolder.tar”, you can use the following command:

tar -xvf myfolder.tar

This will extract the “myfolder.tar” file to the current directory, restoring the “myfolder” directory along with its files and subdirectories.
