The stupidest guide for you to extract files in the terminal (LINUX/GNU/BSD)

Just like any other system in Linux, it is possible to extract rar, zip and other files through a graphical interface. But if you are someone who prefers the old Terminal, here is the list of commands on how to extract these files via terminal.

Files that are listed

• Rar
• Zip
• Tar
• Tar.gz
• bz2
• Tar.bz2

Extracting these files

Now follow the commands to be carried out in the terminal and I was able to extract it.

Rar

$ unrar x filename.rar

Tar

$ tar -xvf filename.tar

Tar.gz

$ tar -vzxf filename.tar.gz

Bz2
