Re: .tgz file

hello;

please forgive the lack of capital letters and any typographical
errors. i am recoverying from left shoulder surgery and typing
one-handed.

'tgz' is shorthand for 'tar.gz'

if you have gnu tar you would use:

tar -tzvf <filename>.tgz

the above command will give you a listing of what
is in the tar archive.

tar -xzvf <filename>.tgz

the above command will extract what
is in the tar archive.

if you do not have gnu tar, you can use:

gunzip < <filename>.tgz | tar -tvf -

this will give you a listing

gunzip < <filename>.tgz | tar -xvf -

this will extract what is in the tar archive.
