Reading files inside a TAR
Is it possible to read a file that is inside a TAR without extracting it? If yes, how? I've research the net but search was unsuccessful

Re: Reading files inside a TAR
It all depends on what you mean by 'extracting'. You can pipe the output to stdout using the -O or --to-stdout option.
