tzls and tzx are commandline utilities for quickly unpacking or listing the contents of various types of common Unix archive files, which may be compressed in any of several ways.

The supported compression types are gzip, bzip2 and compress. The supported archive types are tar, cpio, zip, rar, and arj. The tools are implemented as shell scripts, so no compilation is required.

Usage:

tzls [ -v ] [ -y ] filename[.{tar|tar.Z|tar.gz|bz2|taz|tgz|zip|cpio|..}]
tzx [ -v ] [ -y ] filename[.{tar|tar.Z|tar.gz|bz2|taz|tgz|zip|cpio|..}]

Options:

-v verbose output

The file type is checked before any action is taken, regardless of the filename extension.

For safety reasons (and as with tar) only a single input file at a time can be specified.

Non-compressed archives are also accepted.

What's New in This Release:
Detection of ZIP archive content was improved.
The embedded unzip options were fixed.
