Listing the Contents of a Stored Directory
To get information about the contents of an archived directory,
use the directory name as a file name argument in conjunction with
`--list'
(`-t'
). To find out file attributes, include the
`--verbose'
(`-v'
) option.
For example, to find out about files in the directory `practice'
, in
the archive file `music.tar'
, type:
$ tar --list --verbose --file=music.tar practice |
tar
responds:
drwxrwxrwx myself/user 0 1990-05-31 21:49 practice/ -rw-r--r-- myself/user 42 1990-05-21 13:29 practice/blues -rw-r--r-- myself/user 62 1990-05-23 10:55 practice/folk -rw-r--r-- myself/user 40 1990-05-21 13:30 practice/jazz -rw-r--r-- myself/user 10240 1990-05-31 21:49 practice/collection.tar |
When you use a directory name as a file name argument, tar
acts on
all the files (including sub-directories) in that directory.
