The lz script emulates and extends the lz and uz commands of the mtools. It handles: .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz and .tar.lzma, through the standards options of GNU tar. 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: cp lz /usr/local/bin ln /usr/local/bin/{lz,uz}
