LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 120

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because 'tar ztf' is specifically designed to list the contents of a gzip-compressed tar file. The other options either attempt to extract files, do not correctly reference the gzip option, or are commands that do not display contents.
