Tar Tasks
Properties Configuration Settings
The Tar task implements a tar archive utility, compatible with the UNIX tar and untar utilities.
Remarks
The Tar task is used when compressing or decompressing data in the form of files. The task also implements gzip and bzip2 compression and can be used to create or decompress .tar.gz or tar.bz archives.
Tar Assembler Task
The Assembler takes a group of files as input which contains raw data, and generates a Tar archive file as output.
Tar Disassembler Task
The Disassembler takes a Tar file as input, and generates a group of decompressed files as output.
