→‎Investigation 2: How do you create an archive file?

{{Admon/important | Warning! | Don't miss the '''.''' at the end of the next command! It specifies what should go into the archive: the contents of the current directory.}}

#*<code>tar cvf /tmp/archive1.tar .</code>

#*What do the options c, v, and f mean? 3. #Record the archive file size. 4. #Compress the file using <code>gzip</code>: #*<code>gzip /tmp/archive1.tar</code> 5. #Record the archive file size after compression. 6. #Make sure you're still in <code>/usr/share/doc/~~bash-3.2~~ sudo*</code> and then create a compressed archive: #*<code>tar cvzf /tmp/archive2.tgz .</code> #What does the <code>z </code> option do? 7. # Compare the sizes of /tmp/archive1.tar.gz and /tmp/archive2.tgz. Why are they so close in size?

Answer the Investigation 2 question.
