As has been noted several times in your previous threads:
- Always tell us what operating system you're using.
- Always tell us what shell you're using.
- Always use CODE tags when displaying sample input, sample output, and code segments.
And, in this case, tell us what command you use to get the sizes of files in a file with the filename extensions
.tar.lzo on your system and show us the output you get (in CODE tags) when using that command on one of your sample input files.

Hi,
I'm using a tar command
tar -xOvf /home/mytar.tar
My intention is to extract data in files which are inside various directories,
without extracting files to the disk.
Is this the best way to achieve it?
Thanks,

etags(1) General Commands Manual etags(1)
NAME
etags - Generates a tags file for the emacs or mule editor
SYNOPSIS
etags [-a | -append] [-C | -c++] [-D | -no-defines] [-i tagsfile2 | -include=tagsfile2] [-o tagsfile | -output=tagsfile] [-S |
-ignore-indentation] [-H | -help] [-V | -version] filename...
OPTIONS
Appends output to an existing vi-format tags file. (Supports operation of the emacs editor in vi mode.) Treats files with or extensions as
C++, rather than C, code. The etags command always treats files with extensions as C++ code. Does not create tag entries for C preproces-
sor definitions. If many header files are tagged, using this option may make the tags file much smaller. Includes a note in the output
tags file to indicate that, when searching for a tag, one should also consult the tagsfile2 tags file. Explicitly names the output tags
file; overrides the default name, which is TAGS. Instructs etags not to rely on indentation to determine nesting level. Currently, this
means not to assume that a closing brace in the first column is the final brace in a function or structure definition in C or C++ code.
Prints usage information. Prints the current version of the program.
OPERANDS
Specifies the input language source file, or files, to be processed.
DESCRIPTION
The etags program creates a tag table file in a format understood by the emacs editor. The program understands the syntax of C, C++, For-
tran, Pascal, and Lisp source files. It reads the source files specified on the command line and writes a tag table (named TAGS by default)
in the working directory. Recognition of the language used in an input file is based on the filename extension and file contents; there are
no options for specifying the language.
NOTES
The etags program is software distributed by the Free Software Foundation.
