Summary of compression and decompression of common file formats under Linux

Roughly summed up the Linux under the various formats of compression package compression, decompression methods. But part of the method I did not use, also not all, I hope you help me to add, we will modify the perfect, thank you!

. tar

Unpack: Tar xvf Filename.tar

Decompression 2:gzip-d filename.gz

Compression: gzip FileName

. tar.gz and. tgz

Decompression: Tar zxvf FileName.tar.gz

Compression: Tar zcvf FileName.tar.gz dirname

---------------------------------------------

. bz2

Decompression 1:bzip2-d filename.bz2

Decompression 2:BUNZIP2 filename.bz2

Compression: Bzip2-z FileName

. tar.bz2

Decompression: Tar jxvf FileName.tar.bz2

Compression: Tar jcvf FileName.tar.bz2 dirname

---------------------------------------------

. BZ

Decompression 1:bzip2-d filename.bz

Decompression 2:BUNZIP2 filename.bz

Compression: Unknown

. tar.bz

Decompression: Tar jxvf FileName.tar.bz

Compression: Unknown

---------------------------------------------

. Z

Decompression: uncompress filename.z

Compression: Compress FileName

. Tar. Z

Decompression: Tar zxvf filename.tar.z

Compression: Tar zcvf filename.tar.z dirname

---------------------------------------------

. zip

Decompression: Unzip Filename.zip

Compression: Zip Filename.zip dirname

---------------------------------------------

. rar

Decompression: rar a Filename.rar

Compression: R ar e filename.rar

RAR please to: http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm download!

After decompression, copy the rar_static to the/usr/bin directory (other directories specified by the $PATH environment variable can also):

[ROOT@WWW2 tmp]# CP Rar_static/usr/bin/rar

---------------------------------------------

. Lha

Decompression: Lha-e Filename.lha

Compression: Lha-a Filename.lha FileName

LHA please to: http://www.infor.kanazawa-it.ac.jp/~ishii/lhaunix/download!

> Copy the LHA to the/usr/bin directory after decompression (other directories specified by the $PATH environment variable may also be available):

[ROOT@WWW2 tmp]# CP lha/usr/bin/

---------------------------------------------

. rpm

Unpack: Rpm2cpio filename.rpm | Cpio-div

---------------------------------------------

. deb
