tar with gzip option

[Stuart Powell]

Is anyone aware of a tar source that had a gzip option that will run on HP-UX 11.XX?

Hi Stuart,

That can be done with gnu tar:

Hi Stuart,

I don't think someone is even working along those lines, combining tar and gzip.

Try zip from this link,

Thanks. That looks like what I need.

gnu tar has integration with gzip.
the tar included with hpux can not do it, but you can simply pipe the output tar produces to gzip instead.

It is the GNU tar, I've been using it on Linux for sometime..

tar -cvzf filename.tar.gz filename

or

tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz filename


If someone gets working on 11.00 let me know how you did it..

another solution is:
gunzip -c filename.tar.gz|tar xvf -

then you don't need gnu tar...
