To extract the product files from the
tar
container files, the basic form of the call to
tar
is:
tar -xof /
mount-point
/
filename
The flag
x
means extract files from
tar
-formatted data, and
f
specifies that the source of the data will be a file.
mount-point
is the point in the UNIX filesystem at which the CD-ROM is mounted, while
filename
is the name of the
tar
file containing the product files.
For example, to extract the files for LispWorks (32-bit) on SPARC Solaris, with the CD-ROM mounted at /cdrom/lw_60/, you would type
tar -xof /cdrom/lw_60/lw60-sparc.tar
