  • List the contents of an archive:
    pax -f archive.tar
  • List the contents of a gzipped archive:
    pax -zf archive.tar.gz
  • Create an archive from files:
    pax -wf target.tar path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/file3
  • Create an archive from files, using output redirection:
    pax -w path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/file3 > target.tar
  • Extract an archive into the current directory:
    pax -rf source.tar
