print from .gz to a txt file

hi

Howto print from save.gz to a txt file, to show names of all directories and their size?

What's in "save.gz"? How was it made?

['chris']

it was made using:

# cd / ; find ./ -depth -print -xdev | cpio -ovfB | gzip -c > /tmp/save.gz &

Hi,

use
gunzip < /tmp/save.gz | cpio -itv >/tmp/save.lst

Or using pax(1):
gzcat/tmp/save.gz | pax -tv > /tmp/save.lst

This shows the names of all files and directories and their sizes. A directory size probably isn't that useful.
