A Linux administrator recently downloaded a software package that is currently in a compressed file. Which of the following commands will extract the files?
The command gzip can extract files that are compressed with the gzip format, which has the extension .gz. This is the correct command to use for the software package. The other options are incorrect because they either compress files (bzip2 -z), unzip files that are compressed with the zip format (unzip -v or funzip), or have the wrong options (-v or -z instead of -d).
