A user may untar a compressed (gzipped) tar file with:
tar -zxvf <filename>
The
z flag instructs tar to use gzip. A seperate gzip pipe is not required.
Of course, the
v flag is not necessary, just makes gzip quite
talkative
DanielB is quite correct when he suggests that a
.tgz file may be untarred with
-zxf switches (only).

miniunzip
miniunzip(1) General Commands Manual miniunzip(1)
NAME
miniunzip - uncompress and examine ZIP archives
SYNOPSIS
miniunzip [-exvlo] zipfile [ files_to_extract ] [-d tempdir]
DESCRIPTION
minizip is a simple tool which allows the extraction of compressed file archives in the ZIP format used by the MS-DOS utility PKZIP. It
was written as a demonstration of the zlib(3) library and therefore lack many of the features of the unzip(1) program.
OPTIONS
A number of options are supported. With the exception of -d tempdir these must be supplied before any other arguments and are:
-l , --v
List the files in the archive without extracting them.
-o Overwrite files without prompting for confirmation.
-x Extract files (default).
The zipfile argument is the name of the archive to process. The next argument can be used to specify a single file to extract from the ar-
chive.
Lastly, the following option can be specified at the end of the command-line:
-d tempdir
Extract the archive in the directory tempdir rather than the current directory.
SEE ALSO
minizip(1), zlib(3), unzip(1).
AUTHOR
This program was written by Gilles Vollant. This manual page was written by Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>. The -d tempdir option was
added by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
