Full Circle - The Ubuntu Community Magazine

It's hard to believe th at Ubuntu is now four years old and has been through several versions already. First released in October 2004 by Canonical Limited, and originally called no-name-yet.com (which still works incidentally), Ubuntu is a fork of the decade-old Debian GNU/Linux. The name, Ubuntu, comes from the Zulu and Xhosa concept of ubuntu which means 'I am what I am because of who we all are ,'which becomes 'Linux for Human Beings ' – Ubuntu's slogan. For a desktop environment, Ubuntu used GNOME and, like GNOME, Ubuntu promised new versions every six months - something no other Linux distribution would promised , even today.

Each release of the Ubuntu core was given a code name. Warty Warthog being the first, with each subsequent release being given a somewhat humorous animal code name .

Edisi 01, Edisi 02, Edisi 03, Edisi 04, Edisi 05, Edisi 06, Edisi 07, Edisi 08, Edisi 09, Edisi 10, Edisi 11, Edisi 12, Edisi 13, Edisi 14, Edisi 15, Edisi 16, Edisi 17, Edisi 18, Edisi 19

GET tar.gz File Information

Gzip is standard file compression in unix but many file or source code is packeted in tarball and compressed with gzip (tar.gz). Now we want get detail information from tar.gz from shell script.

We have tar.gz file and we want to know detail information in this file.
Open shell script because we played in command mode.

root@hardy:/home# ls -l currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz
-rwx------ 1 bearisusanto root 474768 2008-09-09 18:16 currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz

root@hardy:/home# file currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz
currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue May 22 14:04:06 2007, max compression

If we want to know file type, add -z option in command:
root@hardy:/home# file -z currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz
currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz: tar archive (gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue May 22 14:04:06 2007, max compression)

From information we know that currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz is gzip file which maximally compressed, where contain a tar file.

Get file contain
Now we want get the file contain without extracted. The easy way is with -t(list) option which has by tar program, combinated with -z (gzip file) and -f (file name) like below:
root@hardy:/home# tar ztf currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz
currenttrack-1.2/
currenttrack-1.2/README
currenttrack-1.2/protocols/
currenttrack-1.2/protocols/Makefile.in
currenttrack-1.2/protocols/Makefile.am
currenttrack-1.2/protocols/msn/
currenttrack-1.2/protocols/msn/user.h
.......etc

To get amount of line, use wc program
root@hardy:/home# tar ztf currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz |wc -l
118

To get information like this:
1.Compression file
2.Un-compression file
3.Compression ratio
4.Un-compression file name
5.Compression method (deflate,compress,lzh, & pack)
6.CRC
7.Date
8.Time

Just running gzip program with -l(list) option combinated with -v(verbose)
root@hardy:/home# gzip -vl currenttrack-1.2.tar.gz
method crc date time compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name
defla cdbbf3ae Sep 9 18:16 474768 2775040 82.9% currenttrack-1.2.tar
