It's a good idea to know what will happen BEFORE you unpack an unknown
archive. I use the following little aliases to inspect things before
I "untar":
# Show the contents of a *.tar file
alias showtar 'tar vtf \!:1'
# Show the contents of a *.tar.Z file
alias showZ 'zcat \!:1 | tar vtf -'
To actually unpack:
# Unpack a *.tar file:
alias untar 'tar xvf \!:1'
# Unpack a *.tar.Z file:
alias untarZ 'zcat \!:1 | tar xvf -'
