Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ tar --usage
michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ tar -cf PIC03442.ARW -z
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive

michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ man tar
michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ tar -c -fz PIC03442.ARW
michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ ls
PIC03441.ARW  PIC03441.JPG  PIC03442.ARW  PIC03442.JPG  z
michael@MyNUC:~/Pictures/calibration images$ rm z
