Before putting a tar file somewhere hard to access like S3 Glacier I note what is in it. I create a manifest file. Simply list the file names within:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ tar tvf example.tar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With more automation worked in I came up with this:
|
|
|
|
- list all the tar files using fd (rust find replacment)
|
|
- list content of each one
|
|
- pipe that into a file for safe keeping
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ for x in $(fd -e tar) ; do (tar tvf "$x" && echo "\n") ; done > /tmp/example_manifest
|
|
```
