In this article, let's take a look at the contents of a compressed file using linux's zcat command. There is a certain reference value, friends in need can refer to, hope to help you.

The zcat command is used in situations where the contents of the files in the package can be displayed without actually extracting the files. Zcat is a command-line utility for viewing the contents of a compressed file without unzipping it. It extends the compressed file to standard output so that you can view its contents. In addition, zcat is exactly the same as running the gunzip-c command.

Syntax format: zcat [parameters]

-S use this option when the suffix is not a standard package suffix-c write the contents of the file to the label output-d perform the decompression operation-l display the list of files in the package-L display software license information-Q disable warning message-r perform recursive operation on the directory-t test the integrity of the compressed file-V display instruction version information-l faster compression speed-9 higher compression ratio

Reference example:

Without unzipping the file, display the contents of the file in the package:

[root@linuxcool ~] # zcat file.gz

View multiple compressed files:

[root@linuxcool ~] # zcat file1.gz file2.gz

View the contents of a normal file:

[root@linuxcool] # zcat-f file

Get the attributes of the compressed file (compressed size, uncompressed size, ratio-compression ratio):

[root@linuxcool ~] # zcat-l file.gz

Prohibit all warnings:

[root@linuxcool ~] # zcat-Q file.gz above is a brief introduction to using linux's zcat command to view the contents of a compressed file. Of course, you have to use the above differences in detail before you understand it. If you want to know more, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
