When I download a .tar.gz file, I open it with two commands, first gunzip
and then tar
.
Is it possible to open it with just one command?
To extract a tar. gz file, use the tar -xf command followed by the archive name.
Just use zcat to see content without extraction. From the manual: zcat is identical to gunzip -c . (On some systems, zcat may be installed as gzcat to preserve the original link to compress .)
Simply right-click the item you want to compress, mouseover compress, and choose tar. gz. You can also right-click a tar. gz file, mouseover extract, and select an option to unpack the archive.
Use -t switch with tar command to list content of a archive. tar file without actually extracting. You can see that output is pretty similar to the result of ls -l command.
tar xzf file.tar.gz
The letters are:
You can use tar with a "z" argument
tar xvfz mytar.tar.gz
