Gnu tar helpfully removes any leading / in a path to avoid the potential problems that zaxxon describes -- unless specifically told to keep it with -P. If your tar doesn't do this, you can only do
i.e. you will create E1.txt with the absolute rather than a relative path. tar -x can only extract from the archive what you put in there; use -t (as zaxxon said) to see what that is.
In order to save diskspace and avoid of disk full during
unzip then extract the tar file
is there any tar unzip command would unzip and extract tar at the same time

I have a tar file that contains multiple .Z files. Hence I need to issue a tar command followed by a gzip command to fully extract the files. How do I do it in a single command?
What I'm doing now is

gzip -d *.Z (to extract 1.Z and 2.Z) (9 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?
