Displaying The Contents Of A Tar File - Cisco Catalyst 3550 series Software Configuration Manual

Working with the Flash File System
For destination-url, specify the destination URL alias for the local or network file system and the name
of the tar file to create. These options are supported:
•
•
•
•
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file to be created.
For flash:/file-url, specify the location on the local Flash file system from which the new tar file is
created. You can also specify an optional list of files or directories within the source directory to write
to the new tar file. If none are specified, all files and directories at this level are written to the newly
created tar file.
This example shows how to create a tar file. This command writes the contents of the new-configs
directory on the local Flash device to a file named saved.tar on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30:
Switch# archive tar /create tftp:172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs

Displaying the Contents of a tar File

To display the contents of a tar file on the screen, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /table source-url
For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local or network file system. These options are
supported:
•
•
•
•
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file to display.
You can also limit the display of the files by specifying an optional list of files or directories after the tar
file; then only these files are displayed. If none are specified, all files and directories are displayed.
This example shows how to display the contents of the c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1.tar file that is in
Flash memory:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1.tar

c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1/ (directory)
c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1/html/ (directory)
c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1/c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1.bin (610856 bytes)
c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.EA1/info (219 bytes)
info.ver (219 bytes)
