Untarring Files in the disk0: File System

This section describes how to untar a single file with a .tar extension in the disk0: file system. Use this
process to untar the sample scripts file or to unzip a back-up licenses created with the copy licenses
disk0: command if a license becomes corrupted or lost.
A .tar file keeps related files together and facilitates the transfer of multiple files. A .tar file is a series
of separate files, typically not compressed, added together into a single file by a UNIX TAR program.
The resulting file is known as a tarball, which is similar to a ZIP file but without the compression. The
files in a .tar file must be extracted before they can be used.
Restrictions
To untar a file, the filename must end with a .tar extension.
Detailed Steps
Command
