NAME

SYNOPSIS

  tarj [options] <file1 ... fileN>

DESCRIPTION

The compressed tarfile is named according to the original source file. The compressed tarfile is the original file's name with a file extension appended. The default extension is tbz2, but an alternate extension may be specified with the -extension option.

The original file will be deleted if the -delete option is given. If it isn't given, then the original file will be kept in place.

As stated above, tarj is a shorthand command for the tar command. The additional functionality tarj provides includes: it is quicker to type a tarj command than to type the required tar command, slashes (inserted by some shell file-extension commands) are removed from the input name, the input file may optionally be deleted after tarball creation, and some filename checking is provided.

OPTIONS

• -delete
This flag indicates that the original file should be deleted after it has been tarred and compressed.
• -extension
This flag indicates the extension that should be used for the output file. The default extension is ".tbz2" if this option is not specified.
• -verbose
Give verbose output.
• -Version
Display the version information for tarj.
• -help
Display a help message.
