.SH NAME
uz \- gunzips and extracts a gzip'd tar'd archive
.SH SYNOPSIS
.\" The command line
.B uz 
.I file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B uz
extracts a gzip'd tar'd archive, that is a \fBtar\fR(1) archive
compressed with the \fBgzip\fR(1) utility.
It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the GNU
\fBtar\fR(1) program provides the same capability with the command

.B tar -xzf
.I file

but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and 
is retained here for completeness.

.SH AUTHOR
Robert King (Robert.King@mailbox.gu.edu.au) wrote this page for the

mtools package.
