Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Listing contents of .tar.gz files Post 302877815 by drl on Tuesday 3rd of December 2013 12:18:52 PM

Hi.

See page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing) Use that to read the tar directory which contains information about the files in the archive, e.g. name, mode, size, etc. Possibly the same for gzip at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
