about file format

[juno2]

how to extract the file format .tgz ? thx.

[juno2]

is it the function to tar and gzip a file at the same time? thx

hi,

.tgz file is a tar file which is gzipped.

if you have GNU tar, then

tar zxvf file.tgz will work.

else

gunzip -c file.tgz | tar -xvf -

my hp unix 11 is not support tar -z ( error tar: z: unknown option ) , how to extract ? thx.

[Balaji N]

had specifically mentioned that tar -zxvf will work only with GNU tar.

on hp boxes,

use

gunzip file.tgz
and then

tar -xvf file.tar

or

gunzip -c file.tgz | tar -xvf -

You can use gzip for the .tgz extensions

#/usr/contrib/bin/gzip
