The lz.sh script emulates and extends commands lz and uz from the
|
||||
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: although more powerful than their mtools equivalent, you should
|
||||
probably use als and aunpack from the atool package rather than these
|
||||
commands; they are much better and there are several other useful
|
||||
commands provided by atool. This script is still useful when you can't
|
||||
install Perl (atool ist written in Perl).
|
||||
|
||||
This script handles the following archive formats through the standards
|
||||
options of GNU Tar:
|
||||
- tar
|
||||
- tar.gz (tgz)
|
||||
- tar.bz2 (tbz, tb2)
|
||||
- tar.xz (txz)
|
||||
- tar.lzma (tlz)
|
||||
- tar.Z (taz)
|
||||
Note that you need GNU Tar, at least version 1.20 to support LZMA
|
||||
compressed archives, and version 1.22 for XZ compressed ones.

@ -35,3 +46,8 @@ In case of recompression, the original compressed file is kept. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: the atool package provides the arepack command, which can
|
||||
recompress to several formats and not only to xz. xzize has the
|
||||
advantage to recompress on the fly rather than unpacking the archive
|
||||
entirely on the file system and repacking it after.
