cli-tarHow do I use a gzip tar file example?
A gzip tar file is an archive file that contains multiple files in a compressed format. To use a gzip tar file, you must first extract the files from the archive. This can be done with the tar command.
For example, to extract the files from a gzip tar file named example.tgz
, you can use the following command:
tar -xzf example.tgz
The -x
flag tells the command to extract the files, the -z
flag tells the command to use gzip compression, and the -f
flag tells the command the filename of the archive.
The command will extract the files from the archive into the current directory.
The parts of the command are:
tar
: The tar command is used to extract files from an archive.-x
: This flag tells the command to extract the files.-z
: This flag tells the command to use gzip compression.-f
: This flag tells the command the filename of the archive.example.tgz
: This is the name of the gzip tar file.
For more information about the tar command, see the GNU tar manual.
