I downloaded files in Linux often come
compressed if we look at this file here
eclipse this program has been downloaded
and it's both tar and compressed the GV
extension for gzip indicates that's been
compressed with the gzip program and the
tar extension indicates that the files
have been stuck together with the tar
program we can decompress the file let's
keys it we use dash D for decompress and
then pass in the file name now we see
that the file is decompressed but the
files are still stuck together or tarred
and we can use the taro graham to
extract content to the tar file and now
we see that we have a folder with the
individual files this can be done all in
one command so cool zip the eclipse
installer file back together again now
we're back to where we started with the
file both part and zip together the tar
program can unzip and unstick the files
back into the original directory the Z
will unzip the files X as before will
untie them B will show what is happening
and we can pass F as well
and we'll be able to see what happens as
we decompress and reconstitute the files
back into the original directory
