Say you run tar -czvf some_folder_here
and don't actually specify an output file, like tar -czvf some_output_file.tar some_folder_here
.
Where does the file go?
I just ran this by accident, and the -v
option made it clear that it did SOMETHING, but I'm not sure where it actually went (if it went anywhere at all).
f
is trying to access a tape drive. GNU tar writes to STDOUT withoutf
.tar
are you using? thetar
(GNU tar) 1.27.1 do not create any file for exampletar czvf foo
): "Missing filenames" and without optionf
it says: "/dev/rmt/0: No such device or address".
