Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.
tar --help
tar --version
You’re welcome
I’d have gone with
tar --helpIt’s insane that this isn’t consistent.
Any combination of
-h,-?and--helpexists between tools (from 0 to all 3 of them)Never seen
-?, it’s either-h,--help, or-helpfor programs that just want to be different.One example for it is … tar!
Sorry, the bomb was running MacOS. Your command was not valid and you’ve doomed us all.
It’s literally there at the bottom.
What isn’t valid is MacOS, it’s macOS now.
I always remember that it’s eXtract Ze File,
tar -xzf… But I’ll be honest, I’ve not used it in years and yearstar -xzf stands for tar eXtract Ze Filez
tar -cvzf /etc/Edit: we’re dead :(
tar -czvf tar_name.tar.gz ./I even read this aloud in my head as “CREATE ZE VUCKING FILE” in a particularly bad German accent same as over 20 years ago when a friend I worked for drilled it in my head.
File not found, now we are dead.
Sounds like an error message from a
valid tar command
tar -htar: You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
I do
tax -xvf filenametaxBoom.
I like the way you pointed that out lmao
… aaaaaand you’ve killed us all.
Tar -xvf
Now do a standard
paxcommand.tar --extract --file file.tar.gz
tar xtar --help
tar -cf file.tar directory/
that was 8 seconds. close one, i saved us all
How do you know
directoryexists? 😨shit
