NAME

       tgz - makes a gzip’d tar archive

SYNOPSIS

       tgz [ destination [ source ...  ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Make  a  gzip’d tar archive with the name of the first parameter out of
       specified files or, if no source files are specified,  from  everything
       in  the  current directory.  If the first parameter is omitted as well,
       the archive will be written to stdout.

BUGS

       tgz requires gzip in the  user’s  path.   It  also  needs  gnu  tar  or
       something close due to use of --exclude, --totals and -S.
