pigz, tar - nautilus setting for multithreading

Use all cores for encoding and decoding file!

alias for .bashrc
alias tar='tar --use-compress-program="pigz --fast --recursive | pv"'


i.e)
Compress
tar --use-compress-program="pigz --best --recursive | pv" -cf archive.tar.gz YourData

with alias
tar -cf archive.tar.gz YourData


Decompress
pigz -dc target.tar.gz | pv | tar xf -

=========================

Monitor progress in a terminal
*use 'pv ' for watch progress

ex) tar -c Music | pv | pigz -0 > ./backup.tar.gz

pigz -0 => compress level 0 (no compress), replace number with proper level. level 9 is max.

 another example)
//set value in ./bashrc



alias tar="tar --use-compress-program=pigz"

//reload bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
