To unpack files under Linux, you need to know what file format your file is. Frequently used are the .zip, .tar and .tar.gz formats.
If you want to be sure about the file format, open a console and use the file command like this:
# file Blue-1.7.tar Blue-1.7.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
Here are file formats and how to unpack them:
- .sda : unzip file.sda
- .tar : tar xvf file.tar
- .tar.gz : tar xvzf file.tar
- .tgz : tar xvzf file.tgz
- .zip : unzip file.zip
- .zipx : See unpack .zipx files
| extension | type | how to extract |
|---|---|---|
| .bz2 | bunzip2 | bunzip2 file.bz2 |
| .rar | rar | unrar x file.rar |
