how to compress it using 1 command?


Thanx

There are variations depending on your OS, which you haven't told us. What OS flavour and version are you using? There are lots to choose from, AIX, HPUX, Solaris, OEL., CentOS, Fedora, RedHat, Suse..........etc.

Some will accept the -z flag as part of the tar command, some will not and you have to pass the output to a compression program afterwards, but the default compression programs can vary depending on your OS too, e.g. compress, gzip, bzip, etc.

If none of the above posts have given you an answer, please post your OS and version and we can find the appropriate process for you.



Kind regards,
Robin

	      target-x.z.tar.gz.vcdiff target-x.y/

EXAMPLES

       Compress the differences between SOURCE and TARGET, yielding OUT, using "djw" secondary compression:

       xdelta3 -S djw -s SOURCE TARGET OUT

       Do the same, using standard input and output:

       xdelta3 -S djw -s SOURCE < TARGET > OUT

       To decompress OUT, using SOURCE, yielding TARGET:

       xdelta3 -d -s SOURCE OUT TARGET
