the claim

The tar command supports compression.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the tar command supports compression?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: a Unix book snippet discusses tar and compression, and a dataset page shows tar extracting .xz archives. Neither directly states that the tar command supports compression.
