Filter the archive through xz(1) |
you need to use it like so
| Code: | | $ tar xvJf <archivefile(s)> |

But if you don't specify the compression, tar automatically choose correct one

it will also bomb out if what is compressed isn't a tar file.
The OP title is about tar but is asking about xz. How do we know it is a tar.xz?

my bad.. i assumed the file was tar.xz based on his title and description where he asks about various untar options

I would myself guess that because OP cite he has tried tar with "xvf" and this would work on any tar compression.
And OP also speak about a .xz and not tar.xz, i think fedeliallalinea has the most logical answer : op is certainly trying to use tar on an xz file. |
