Solution
Overview:
pax is an archive utility as well as an file format used under UNIX. It is similar to tar and cpio and its specification is defined by the IEEE 1003.2.
Usage:
pax has got two main modes:
- w (write) : To create an archive file.
- r (read) : To extract files from an archive file.
And:
- r et w : To copy a tree to another one.
Examples: Extraction :
pax -r < test.pax
Creation :
pax -wd -f test.pax
Read content of archive file:
pax -f test.pax
Copy to new directory :
pax -r -w
/New/Directory
