Is it possible to redirect the output from 'tar xvf' to another directory?
The taped tar image is extracting to my / dircetory - even though i'm running the command from /backups.
The contents list of the tape shows files created from /livebackups/...
Thanks

anyone know if it is possable to extract a subdirectory in a tar file.
IE
tarfile contains

I received a tar file of a directory with 50,000 files in it. Is it possible to extract the files in the tar file without first creating the directory?
ie. Doing tar -xvf filename.tar extracts as follows:
x directory/file1.txt
x directory/file2.txt

Hi,
I have tar filw which has multiple directories which contain files.
When i extract using tar -xf the directory structure also get extracted.
I require only files and not directory structures as there will be overhead of moving the files again.
So i searched here and got a solution but... (4 Replies)
I would like to confirm my file.tar is been tar-ed correctly before I remove them. But I have very limited disc space to untar it.
Can I just do the listing instead of actual extract it? Can I say confirm folder integrity if the listing is sucessful without problem?

Hi all,
In Solaris howto extract tar file to specific folder.
This is what we do in Linux, but how to do the same thing in Solaris ?

Hi,
I need to extract a single file from a tar file to another directory.
So far I have this:

hwloc-gather-topology
HWLOC-GATHER-TOPOLOGY(1) hwloc HWLOC-GATHER-TOPOLOGY(1)NAME
hwloc-gather-topology - Saves the relevant Linux topology files and the lstopo output for later (possibly offline) usage.
SYNOPSIS
hwloc-gather-topology [options] <path>
OPTIONS -h --help display help message and exit
DESCRIPTION
hwloc-gather-topology saves all the relevant topology files into an archive (<path>.tar.bz2) and the lstopo output (<path>.output). The
utility for example stores the /proc/cpuinfo file and the entire /sys/devices/system/node/ directory tree.
These files can be used later to explore the machine topology offline. Once the tarball has been extracted, it may for instance be given
to some hwloc command-line utilities through their --input option. It is also possible to override the default topology that the hwloc
library will read by setting the extracted path in the HWLOC_FSROOT environment variable.
Both archive and lstopo output may also be submitted to hwloc developers to debug issues remotely.
hwloc-gather-topology is a Linux specific tool, it is not installed on other operating systems.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you read the hwloc(7) overview page before reading this man page.
EXAMPLES
To store topology information to be used later (possibly on a different host) please run:
hwloc-gather-topology /tmp/myhost
It will store all relevant topology files in the /tmp/myhost.tar.bz2 archive and the lstopo output in the /tmp/myhost.output file. These
files can be transferred on another host for later/offline analysis and/or as the input to various hwloc utilities.
To use these data with hwloc utilities you have to unpack myhost.tar.bz2 archive first:
tar jxvf /tmp/myhost.tar.bz2
A new directory named myhost now contains all topology files. Then you ask various hwloc utilities to use this topology instead of the one
of the real machine by passing --input myhost. To display the topology just run:
lstopo --input ./myhost
It is not necessary that the topology is extracted in the current directory, absolute or relative paths are also supported:
lstopo --input /path/to/remote/host/extracted/topology/
To see how hwloc would distribute 8 parallel jobs on the original host:
hwloc-distrib --input myhost --single 8
To get the corresponding physical indexes in the previous command:
hwloc-calc --input myhost --po --li --proclist $(hwloc-distrib --input myhost --single 8)
Any program may actually override the default topology with a given archived one even if it does not have a --input option. The
HWLOC_FSROOT environment variable should be used to do so:
HWLOC_FSROOT=myhost hwloc-calc --po --li --proclist $(hwloc-distrib --single 8)
All these commands will produce the same output as if executed directly on the host on which the topology information was originally gath-
ered by the hwloc-gather-topology script.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful execution, hwloc-gather-topology will exit with the code 0.
hwloc-gather-topology will return nonzero exit status if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to create the ar-
chive or output file.
