Microsoft is planning to integrate them in the next Windows 10 feature update tar and cURL applications on command line tools. This update is expected in March of 2018.
Although we do not yet know the full name of the next feature update, it is clear that it will include significant improvements and additions in contrast to the rather pale autumn Fall Creator Update.
Certainly, anyway users Linux users shrug their shoulders indifferently at this new one, as these two command line tools have been part of Linux for a very long time. But most users of the Windows until now they are not able to extract TAR files unless they use third party software like Bandizip or 7-Zip.
Microsoft points out that the two open source tools will work just like the * nix systems.
The tar application will be a command-line tool that enables you to create and extract compressed files in tar format, and the cURL application will be a command-line tool for transferring files. Το PowerShell ενσωματώνει μερικές από αυτές τις functions, but the new addition will be about the command line.
The tar.exe command line tool will work pretty much as you would expect. You can use the -x switch to export the files, or the -c to create them. You can also use the –help command to display all tool options.
Curl also comes with several options, the main one being the -o switch which downloads a file from the URL you specify and saves it to your local system.
