Dear folks, I am trying to extract files from a tar xz file.
The file is a kernel file. I ran the tar -xf command: root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# tar -xf linux-4.14.15.tar.xz If you look at the date and time then you can see that no directories have been created with from it in the directory..... root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# date Thu 25 Jan 20:11:23 GMT 2018 root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# ls -l total 199992 drwxrwxr-x 24 root root 4096 Jan 23 18:58 linux-4.14.15 -rw-r--r-- 1 mikef mikef 100837776 Jan 25 16:43 linux-4.14.15.tar.xz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 25 18:02 linux-config-4.14 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 25 00:01 linux-headers-4.14.0-3-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 25 00:01 linux-headers-4.14.0-3-common drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 24 16:32 linux-headers-4.9.0-4-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 24 16:33 linux-headers-4.9.0-4-common lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jan 14 19:45 linux-kbuild-4.14 -> ../lib/linux-kbuild-4.14 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jan 15 04:43 linux-kbuild-4.15 -> ../lib/linux-kbuild-4.15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 6 05:24 linux-kbuild-4.9 -> ../lib/linux-kbuild-4.9 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 216052 Jan 14 19:45 linux-patch-4.14-rt.patch.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103701828 Jan 14 19:45 linux-source-4.14.tar.xz drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Nov 18 09:15 open-vm-tools-10.1.5 root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# Can anyone think of a command that will let me know where the files went/confirm it ran properly?
