how to decompress file.tar.bz2 with tar and bunzip2?

`bunzip2 -dkc file.tar.bz2 | tar xvf` didn't work.


So close:


bzcat file.tar.bz2 | tar xf -


The '-' to tar means stdin/stdout

Hi,


You can also use the -j option to tar:

# tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2

HTH,

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.
