Linux: Unpack TAR (Extract tar-archives)

by on Nov.19, 2011, under Linux (Ubuntu)

The following line will allow you to unpack *.tar files:

<strong>tar xvf</strong> test.tar

This however will work for regular tar-files only. Keep in mind you’ll have to use an additional switch in order to extract tar.gz files:

tar zxvf test.tar.gz

So now you’re capable of extracting both formats.
