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.
