  • ptar: an efficient and parallel archive file extractor 2nd year project at TELECOM Nancy

ptar command can list and extract files and directories of a tar archive file. Its default behaviour is to list the file names of the archive.

Use the following options accordingly with what you want to do with ptar:

  • -h Get some guidance and quick help

  • -l Display a detailed list of files containing access rights, file_size and last modification date

  • -x Extract files from tar archive into current directory

  • -p Specify a number of threads with which you want to extract files from tar

This program uses fsync() to write the extracted files on the disk, so they are durably extracted.
