Hi,

tar [ - ] A --catenate --concatenate | c --create | d --diff --compare | --delete | r --append | t --list | u --update | x --extract --get [ options ] pathname [ pathname ... ]

pathname is what you’re looking for.

Subject: [CentOS] About the tar extract signal directory~~

Hi,all:

I've couple of large tarballs such as www.tar and images.tar.
 Is it possible to extract a single file or a list of files from a large tarball such as images.tar instead of extracting the entire tarball?
 How do I extract specific files under Linux / UNIX operating systems?


Thanks in advance ~~
