I'm trying to use a combination of gunzip and tar to unpack and unzip a *.tar.gz file. I tried gunzip ~/myfile.tar.gz | gtar -x
This will unzip the file, but it won't unpack. Any hints?
thanks a lot

BASENAME(3) 1 BASENAME(3)
basename - Returns trailing name component of path
SYNOPSIS
string basename (string $path, [string $suffix])
DESCRIPTION
Given a string containing the path to a file or directory, this function will return the trailing name component.
PARAMETERS
o $path
- A path. On Windows, both slash ( /) and backslash ( ) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is
the forward slash ( /).
o $suffix
- If the name component ends in $suffix this will also be cut off.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the base name of the given $path.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
basename(3) example
<?php
echo "1) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d", ".d").PHP_EOL;
echo "2) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d").PHP_EOL;
echo "3) ".basename("/etc/passwd").PHP_EOL;
echo "4) ".basename("/etc/").PHP_EOL;
echo "5) ".basename(".").PHP_EOL;
echo "6) ".basename("/");
?>
The above example will output:
1) sudoers
2) sudoers.d
3) passwd
4) etc
5) .
6)
NOTES
Note
basename(3) operates naively on the input string, and is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such as " ..".
Note
basename(3) is locale aware, so for it to see the correct basename with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must be set
using the setlocale(3) function.

dirname(3), pathinfo(3).
