Hi all
While trying to lookup XCB API documentation (
/usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/ ), I noticed that it is compressed, now
I'm wondering is there anyway to install that documentation in the
decompressed form, hmm...?
why?
less /usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/blah.doc.bz2
cat /usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/blah.doc.bz2 | bzip2 -d
cp /usr/share/doc/libxcb/manual/blah.doc.bz2 ~/; bzip2 -d ~/blah.doc.bz2
I know how to view and decompress compressed-files, but I don't want to
decompress file and but then after decompressing, I'll lose the ability
to track the file from portage's database.
I still don't understand - if you know how to view a compressed file
"without" decompressing it, then what do you want to decompress it for?
