    I've a little question about tar command.

    what is the "reverse" command of:

    gzip -d -c myfile.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

    I know do this in 2 steps, but in some case I don't have left space to
    get this work

    tar cvf myfile.tar /mydir
    gzip -9 myfile.tar

    Sorry, but I can't find this on man pages

    Thanks for you help.

    Atentamente,
