Which program to use to unzip/uncompress the file with extension abc.tar.bz2

Thank You

$ tar xfj abc.tar.bz2

Add a 'v' if you want to see all the names go scrolling by:

$ tar xvfj abc.tar.bz2

No need to specify the compression type with tar now, so you can just use
Code:
tar xvf whatever.tar.bz2
or
Code:
tar xvf whatever.tar.gz
