| 20 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 21 | .B uz |
| 22 | extracts a gzip'd tar'd archive, that is a \fBtar\fR(1) archive |
| 23 | compressed with the \fBgzip\fR(1) utility. |
| 24 | It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the GNU |
| 25 | \fBtar\fR(1) program provides the same capability with the command |
| 26 | |
| 27 | .B tar -xzf |
| 28 | .I file |

| 30 | but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and |
| 31 | is retained here for completeness. |
