tar.gz
 

Hello, I am trying to extract a .tar.gz file. I have been reading the man files, and all I can see I need to do it /tar -x <filename> When I do this, the terminal just sits there, doing nothing. Is this the only switch I need to use? Thanks for your time. Using RedHat9

try:

tar zxvf filename

z=unzip
x=extract
v=verbose
f=from file

Thanks! Works good now
