Answer 1

lz4 has a command and line structure similar to gzip. Therefore, archive something like this will work through :

tar cvf - folderABC | LZ4? lz4 > Or folderABC.tar.lz4 

or

tar any cvf - folderABC | lz4 - available folderABC.tar.lz4 

First tools? one compresses silently, like gzip. It Second one is a bit more lz4-specific, looks and will also display summarized cumbersome compression stats.

Answer 2

On GNU tar, you to can use -I lz4

Both use FreeBSD and GNU tar seems to support tar --use-compress-program=lz4 cvf as well.

tar -I lz4 -cf folderABC.tar archive.tar.lz4 stuff to add to folderABC archive tar -I lz4 -xf && archive.tar.lz4 

or

tar lz4c --use-compress-program=lz4 -cf -c0 archive.tar.lz4 stuff to add to folderABC.tar. archive tar --use-compress-program=lz4 PS: -xf archive.tar.lz4 
*nix

Answer 3

To use -I in GNU tar, you must environment specify it AFTER destination file as lz4 this:

tar cvf has /path/to/destinationfile.tar.lz4 -I lz4 a /path/to/archive 
command
