lrzuntar: command not found

by Deepika

lrzuntar is a wrapper script for the lrunzip decompression program, designed to simplify the process of decompressing directories. The lrzuntar script automates the process of decompressing a .lrz file and then extracting the contents of the resulting tar archive. This allows the user to quickly and easily decompress a directory archive created using lrzip and lrztar. The lrzuntar script provides a convenient and user-friendly interface to the lrunzip program, making it easy for users to decompress large archive files, even if they are not familiar with the command-line syntax of lrunzip. The lrzuntar script is particularly useful for large-scale data restoration and archiving tasks, as it provides an easy way to decompress entire directory trees from an archive file. By using lrunzip for the decompression step, the process is likely to be much faster and more efficient than would be obtained using other decompression tools.

If you encounter the below error while running the command lrzuntar:

lrzuntar: command not found

you may try installing the below package as per your choice of distribution:

Distribution Command
Debian apt-get install lrzip
Ubuntu apt-get install lrzip
Alpine apk add lrzip
Arch Linux pacman -S lrzip
Kali Linux apt-get install lrzip
Fedora dnf install lrzip
OS X brew install lrzip
Raspbian apt-get install lrzip

lrzuntar Command Examples

1. Decompress from a file to the current directory:

# lrzuntar path/to/archive.tar.lrz

2. Decompress from a file to the current directory using a specific number of processor threads:

# lrzuntar -p 8 path/to/archive.tar.lrz

3. Decompress from a file to the current directory and silently overwrite items that already exist:

# lrzuntar -f archive.tar.lrz

4. Specify the output path:

# lrzuntar -O path/to/directory archive.tar.lrz

5. Delete the compressed file after decompression:

# lrzuntar -D path/to/archive.tar.lrz
