tar usage

May 16th 2007 Posted to Geekery

The short of is that I have a 12 mb tarball sitting on my server which needs to be unzipped. Luckily I have ssh access, so I ssh’d in and performed the following command to extract it:

tar -xvzf file.tar.gz

To take a peak inside I could have done

tar -tvzf file.tar.gz

…and still remain grateful to KarKomaOnline (man pages are just so…long…)
