I have a tar.gz file on my server that I want to...untar? ungz? unzip? whatever...anyway I want to get it open

Something along the lines of:

gunzip -c file.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

Hi tube,

On most linux versions you can also use:

tar -zxvf mytarball.tar.gz

z=unzip, x=exctract, v=verbose, f=filename

cu,

You'll probably start to see bzip2 (*.bz2) more often. They're suppose to have better compression than gzip (*.gz). I actually downloaded the PHP manual maybe a with the filename php_manual_en.tar.bz2

extract:
tar -jxf filename

j = bzip2
