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.
