QUESTION:
I am having problems trying to uncompress a file.
What is the right syntax? I have a file called
bench2.tar.z that I need to restore to the RS/6000.
How must this be done?
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
Here are several example regarding how to uncompress and untar the
file.
1. If you used: uncompress bench2.tar.Z
To untar use: tar -xvf bench2.tar
NOTE: The uncompress command removes bench2.tar.Z and replaces
it with the expanded copy. The expanded file has the same
name as the compressed version, but without the .Z
extension.
2. If you used: zcat bench2.tar.Z > new_file_name
To untar use: tar -xvf new_file_name
3. If you used: zcat bench2.tar.Z
To untar use: zczt bench2.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
NOTE: The zczt command always writes the expanded output to standard
output, that is why you need to either pipe it to tar or
redirect the output to another file and then tar that file.
