不管是普通使用linux系统，还是做为一名运维人员，掌握文件的压缩与归档都是有必要的，在linux系统上压缩与归档的工具是比较多的，今天我就带大家了解一些比较常见的压缩与归档工具。
一、compress/uncompress 默认会删除原文件
compress [-dfvcVr] [-b maxbits] [file ...]
-d: 解压缩，相当于uncompress
-c: 结果输出至标准输出,不删除原文件
-v: 显示详情
uncompress 解压缩
zcat 不解压缩的前提下查看文本文件内容
示例：
[root@centos7 ziptest]# compress -c locale-archive >locale-archive.Z
[root@centos7 ziptest]# ll -h
total 148M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 102M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47M Aug 15 17:26 locale-archive.Z
[root@centos7 ziptest]#
二、gzip/gunzip 默认会删除原文件
gzip [OPTION]... FILE ...
-d: 解压缩，相当于gunzip
-c: 将压缩或解压缩的结果输出至标准输出，不删除原文件
-#：1-9，指定压缩比，值越大压缩比越大
zcat：不解压缩的前提下查看文本文件内容
示例：
[root@centos7 ziptest]# gzip -c locale-archive >locale-archive
.gz[root@centos7 ziptest]# ll -h
total 171M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 102M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 23M Aug 15 17:31 locale-archive.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47M Aug 15 17:26 locale-archive.Z
[root@centos7 ziptest]#
三、bzip2/bunzip2 对于大文件有着更大的压缩比
bzip2 [OPTION]... FILE ...
-k: keep, 保留原文件
-d：解压缩
-#：1-9，压缩比，默认为6
bzcat：不解压缩的前提下查看文本文件内容
示例：
[root@centos7 ziptest]# bzip2 -k locale-archive locale-archive
.bz2bzip2: Input file locale-archive.bz2 already has .bz2 suffix.
[root@centos7 ziptest]# ll -h
total 191M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 102M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 21M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive.bz2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 23M Aug 15 17:31 locale-archive.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47M Aug 15 17:26 locale-archive.Z
[root@centos7 ziptest]#
四、xz/unxz 压缩比最大
xz [OPTION]... FILE ...
-k: keep, 保留原文件；
-d：解压缩
-#：1-9，压缩比，默认为6；
xzcat: 不显式解压缩的前提下查看文本文件内容
示例：
[root@centos7 ziptest]# xz -k locale-archive locale-archive.xz
xz: locale-archive.xz: File already has `.xz' suffix, skipping
[root@centos7 ziptest]# ll -h
total 195M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 102M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 21M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive.bz2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 23M Aug 15 17:31 locale-archive.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3.3M Aug 15 17:23 locale-archive.xz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47M Aug 15 17:26 locale-archive.Z
[root@centos7 ziptest]#
由此可见各个压缩工具的的压缩性能：xz > bz2 > gz > compress
五、zip/unzip 压缩并归档（不删除原文件）
zip -r zipname.zip file... 打包并压缩
zip �Cr sysconfig.zip /etc/sysconfig
unzip sysconfig.zip 解包并解压缩
六、tar 只归档不压缩
(1) 创建归档
tar -c -f /PATH/TO/SOMEFILE.tar FILE...
tar -cf /PATH/TO/SOMEFILE.tar FILE...
(2) 查看归档文件中的文件列表
tar -t -f /PATH/TO/SOMEFILE.tar
(3) 展开归档
tar -x -f /PATH/TO/SOMEFILE.tar
tar -x -f /PATH/TO/SOMEFILE.tar -C /PATH/
(4) 结合压缩工具实现：归档并压缩
tar -zcf：归档并调用gzip压缩
tar -zxf：调用gzip解压缩并展开归档
示例：
[root@centos7 tartest]# cp -r /etc/sysconfig .
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Aug 15 20:15 sysconfig
[root@centos7 tartest]# tar -zcf sysconfig.tar.gz sysconfig
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 105K Aug 15 20:16 sysconfig.tar.gz
[root@centos7 tartest]#
tar -jcf：归档并调用bzip压缩
tar -jxf：调用bzip解压缩并展开归档
示例：
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 105K Aug 15 20:16 sysconfig.tar.gz
[root@centos7 tartest]# tar -jxf sysconfig.tar.bz2

示例：
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h
total 212K
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Aug 15 20:15 sysconfig

[root@centos7 tartest]# tar -Jcf sysconfig.tar.xz sysconfig

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 94K Aug 15 20:24 sysconfig.tar.xz
[root@centos7 tartest]# mv sysconfig sysconfig2
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h
total 308K
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Aug 15 20:15 sysconfig2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 100K Aug 15 20:20 sysconfig.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 105K Aug 15 20:16 sysconfig.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 94K Aug 15 20:24 sysconfig.tar.xz
[root@centos7 tartest]# tar -Jxf sysconfig.tar.xz
[root@centos7 tartest]# ll -h
total 312K
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Aug 15 20:15 sysconfig
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Aug 15 20:15 sysconfig2

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 105K Aug 15 20:16 sysconfig.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 94K Aug 15 20:24 sysconfig.tar.xz
[root@centos7 tartest]#
从这儿我们可以看出，小文件归档并压缩反而会变大，但是如果是大文件归档并压缩就可以看出压缩的效果了
七、cpio 复制 从或到文件
cpio命令是通过重定向的方式将文件进行打包备份，还原恢复的工具，它可以解压以“.cpio”或者“.tar”结尾的文件。
cpio [选项] > 文件名或者设备名
cpio [选项] < 文件名或者设备名
选项
-o 将文件拷贝打包成文件或者将文件输出到设备上
-i 解包，将打包文件解压或将设备上的备份还原到系统
-t 预览，查看文件内容或者输出到设备上的文件内容
-v 显示打包过程中的文件名称
-d 解包生成目录，在cpio还原时，自动的建立目录
-c 一种较新的存储方式
示例：
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# cp /boot/initrd-plymouth.img .
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# ll -h
total 9.8M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9.8M Aug 15 20:58 initrd-plymouth.img
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# file initrd-plymouth.img
initrd-plymouth.img: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modif
ied: Thu Jul 21 12:54:24 2016, max compression
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# mv initrd-plymouth.img initrd-plymouth.img.gz
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# gzip -d initrd-plymouth.img.gz
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# ll -h
total 20M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20M Aug 15 20:58 initrd-plymouth.img
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# file initrd-plymouth.img
initrd-plymouth.img: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)
[root@centos7 cpiotest]#
cpio -t 预览一下这个镜像文件里面的内容
[root@centos7 cpiotest]# cpio -t < initrd-plymouth.img
