NAME

uz - gunzips and extracts a gzip’d tar’d archive

SYNOPSIS

uz file

DESCRIPTION

uz extracts a gzip’d tar’d archive, that is a tar (1) archive compressed with the gzip (1) utility. It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the GNU tar (1) program provides the same capability with the command

tar -xzf file

but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and is retained here for completeness.

AUTHOR

Robert King (Robert.King@mailbox.gu.edu.au) wrote this page for the Debian/GNU mtools package.
