Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 84

Which of the following commands displays the contents of a gzip compressed tar archive?

Answer options

• A. gzip archive.tgz | tar xvf -
• B. tar ztf archive.tgz
• C. gzip -d archive.tgz | tar tvf -
• D. tar cf archive.tgz

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, utilizes the 'tar' command with the 'z' option to handle gzip compression and 't' to display the contents without extracting them. Options A and C attempt to extract or display files incorrectly, while D is for creating an archive instead of listing the contents.
