I know tar zxf and xjf off by heart. I probably do 100x as many extracts as creates. Tar is a stupidly antiquated command though.
Why remember/include the algorithm? Tar can infer that. It's just
bsdtar xf filename.*for everything. (bsdtar handles .zip as well)The bomb said tar.
Yes, and tar works the same, it just doesn't handle zip files.
And even if we're pedantic: bsdtar is Arch Linux’ executable name for a port of the
tarcommand that is shipped by BSDs, so it's alsotar.
