We can use ls to see the archive file that is created for us. The tar utility will create an archive file called “page_.”

We can use find with xargs to some action performed on the files that are found. That’s “almost the same” thing, and not “exactly the same” thing because there can be unexpected differences with shell expansions and file name globbing. This achieves almost the same thing as straightforward piping. To address this shortcoming the xargs command can be used to parcel up piped input and to feed it into other commands as though they were command-line parameters to that command.
