11 # Version: 1.0.6
12 # Input: arg1: data to be written
13 # arg2: file name of file to be inserted into tar
14 # arg3: tar archive path (must exist first)
15 # arg4: temporary working dir
16 # arg5+: command strings (ex: "gpsbabel -i nmea -f - -o kml -F - ")
17 # Output: file written to disk
18 # Example: decrypt multiple large files in parallel
19 # appendArgTar "$(cat /tmp/largefile1.gpg)" "largefile1" $HOME/archive.tar /tmp "gpg --decrypt" &
20 # appendArgTar "$(cat /tmp/largefile2.gpg)" "largefile2" $HOME/archive.tar /tmp "gpg --decrypt" &
