I have a large gzipped tar archive containing many small files; just
untarring it takes a lot of time and space. I'd like to be able to
process each file in the archive, ideally without untarring the
whole thing first, and I'd like to process several files in
parallel. Is there a recipe for this with GNU Parallel?
tar xvf big-file.tar.gz | parallel echo "Proc this file {}"
Parallel will start when the first file is untared.
