For future reference, you can create a tar.gz in one step:
Saves on space, since only the tar.gz is created, instead of the tar & the (temporary additional space for the) tar.gz

VERSION
This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.
DESCRIPTION
The th_get_*() functions extract individual fields from the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_IS*() macros are used to evaluate what kind of file is pointed to by the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.
The TH_ISLONGNAME() and TH_ISLONGLINK() macros evaluate whether or not the GNU extensions are used by the current tar header associated
with the TAR handle t. This is only relevant if the TAR_GNU option was used when tar_open() was called.
