TarDiff - Compare two tarballs and report differences
DESCRIPTION
TarDiff compares the contents of two tarballs and reports on any differences found between them. Its use is mainly for release managers who
can use it as a QA tool to make sure no files have accidently been left over or were added by mistake. TarDiff supports compressed tar-
balls, diff statistics and suppression of GNU autotool changes.
SYNOPSIS
tardiff [options] file1.tar file2.tar[.gz/.bz2]
OPTIONS -m, --modified Report on all changed files, including those present in both tarballs
-l, --list List all files, even those not changed at all
-a, --autoskip Skip files which belong to the GNU autotools (for --modified)
-s, --stats Run statistics (diffstat) on all modified files (for --modified)
-v, --version Display tardiff version
-h, --help Display this help screen

virt-tar-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-tar-out(1)NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz
DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to
write to standard output.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest:
virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
