... ciao:

: on "10-20-2006" "Mauricio Silveira" writ:
: I'm wondering if there's any way to get tar to stop immediately after
: the extraction of a file on compressed tar files. eg: I pack a big tgz

    'man tar' offers:

       -T, --files-from F
              get names to extract or create from file F


: when I run "tar xf file.tgz --occurrence index.txt"

    HOWEVER , i'm using a gnu flavour 'tar', which does "not" list
'--occurrence' as an option, so, the suggestion above may not apply ...


-- 
... i'm a man, but i can change,
    if i have to , i guess ...
