Retrieve file from depot

Is there a way to retrieve a single file from a depot?

Re: Retrieve file from depot

Hi:

Yes. A depot is really a tar archive. The contents are compressed. FOr example:

# tar -xvf /tmp/PHCO_34668.depot

# cd /tmp/PHCO_34668

...within this directory I would find, for example:

/tmp/PHCO_34668/UX-CORE/usr/newconfig/usr/lib/tztab

...to extract it, do:

# gzip -d tztab.gz

...yielding 'tztab'.

Regards!

Hi,

If you intend to extract PHCO_34668.depot in your Notebook/PC Windows OS, you can get hold of WinRAR from:
