Say I have a file
foo.tbz2
in a directory. I want to extract the tar
file from the archive, but to a different directory. It seems like bunzip2
will only extract the archive to the same directory as the archive.
This works, but I'm wondering if there is a better way:
cd /another/directory
bunzip2 -k /original/directory/foo.tbz2
