9 # Desc: Processes first file and then appends to tar
10 # Usage: appendFileTar [file path] [name of file to be inserted] [tar path] [temp dir] ([cmd1] [cmd2] [cmd3] [cmd4]...)
12 # Input: arg1: path of file to be (processed and) written
13 # arg2: name to use for file 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 # appendFileTar /tmp/largefile1.gpg "largefile1" $HOME/archive.tar /tmp "gpg --decrypt" &
