  • Another useful switch is -j for handling bzip2 compression. To do the same as above for a bzip-compressed tarball:


    tar xjf filename.tar.bz2

  • another usefull tar command is this:

    tar czvf tarball.tar.gz /tmp/tarball

    this will tar and gzip the directory /tmp/tarball into the file tarball.tar.gz
  • i got the following error when i extracted.
    gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
    tar: Child returned status 1
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
    Plz suggest any way to extract in linux?
