NAME

       uz - gunzips and extracts a gzip'd tar'd archive

SYNOPSIS

       uz file

DESCRIPTION

       uz  extracts  a gzip'd tar'd archive, that is a tar(1) archive compressed with the gzip(1)
       utility.  It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the GNU tar(1) program
       provides the same capability with the command

       tar -xzf file

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