zxvf
The name “zxvf” is from the Unix/GNU/Linux world where you use the program “tar” to compress
files. Shown below is some of the output from “tar –help”:
GNU `tar’ saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and
can restore individual files from the archive.
Usage: tar [OPTION]… [FILE]…
Examples:
| tar -cf archive.tar foo bar | # Create archive.tar from files foo and bar. |
| tar -tvf archive.tar | # List all files in archive.tar verbosely. |
| tar -xf archive.tar | # Extract all files from archive.tar. |
| tar -zxvf archive.tar.gz | # Extract all files from archive.tar.gz verbosely. |
