NAME

       lz - gunzips and shows a listing of a gzip’d tar’d archive

SYNOPSIS

       lz file

DESCRIPTION

       lz  provides  a  listing  of  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 -tzf file

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