| + | ====== Extract ====== | ||
| + | To extract from a USB drive the best syntax is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | gunzip -c /media/usb_drive1/file.tar.gz | tar -xvf - | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The -c option extract to standard output which is the console. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | -c --stdout --to-stdout | ||
| + | Write output on standard output; keep original files unchanged | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | This is piped to tar. So if you keep the current directory where you want the extracted files to be, you can directly unzip from the USB drive | ||
