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 those files appear. If none are specified, all files and directories appear.
This example shows how to display the contents of a switch tar file that is in flash memory:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:image-name.tar
image-name/ (directory)
image-name/html/ (directory)
image-name/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
image-name/image-name.bin (610856 bytes)
image-name/info (219 bytes)
This example shows how to display only the /html directory and its contents:
Switch# archive tar /table flash: image-name/html
cimage-name/html
cimage-name/html/ (directory)
cimage-name/html/const.htm (556 bytes)
cimage-name/html/xhome.htm (9373 bytes)
cimage-name/html/menu.css (1654 bytes)
