Linux:
- well, i don't know but I think there is from the OS within a support for TAR.GZ



The GNU Tar implementation that the majority of Linux distros ship allows for handling .gz files with the "z" flag and .bz2 files with the "j" flag.

For instance:

`tar xvzf wordpress.nightly.tar.gz`

will expand and untar the file in the current directory.

If you're on an older Solaris machine or on a *NIX box that doesn't use the GNU or UCB tar, you can always use gzcat and pipe it to tar:

`gzcat wordpress.nightly.tar.gz | tar xvf -`

Make sure you include that last dash on the tar command, as it tells tar to read from STDIN instead of from a file.
