|
|
|
|
|
mtools.

It handles: tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, tar.lzma and tar.Z (and
|
|
|
|
|
associated 3-characters extensions: tgz, tbz, tb2, tlz, txz, taz)
|
|
|
|
|
through the standards options of GNU Tar.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you need GNU Tar, at least version 1.20 to support LZMA
|
|
|
|
|
compressed archives, and version 1.22 for XZ compressed ones.

|
|
If the script name is "lz", the archive content is displayed. If the
|
|
|
|
|
name is "uz", it is extracted.

To install lz and uz, move put script in a directory in the PATH (for
|
|
|
|
|
instance /usr/local/bin) and hard link it to uz:
|
2013-04-10 22:07:28 +02:00
|
|
|
cp lz.sh /usr/local/bin/lz
|
2010-01-03 23:35:54 +01:00
|
|
|
ln /usr/local/bin/{lz,uz}

# xzize.sh #
|
2010-01-31 13:13:20 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The xzize script compresses an uncompressed file, or recompresses a
|
|
|
|
|
compressed file to xz (with maximum compression level).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known compression formats are GZip (.gz), BZip2 (.bz2), LZMA (.lzma),
|
2010-01-31 16:14:45 +01:00
|
|
|
and Lempel-Ziv (.Z). Short tar compressed suffixes are also allowed:
|
|
|
|
|
.tgz, .tbz, .tb2, .tlz, .taz.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case of recompression, the original compressed file is keeped. In
|
|
|
|
|
case of compression (i.e. when the suffix of the file does not
|
|
|
|
|
correspond to a known compression format), the original uncompressed
|
|
|
|
|
file is removed.
