Ok so i did a fair bit of search on the web and did not find any answers. I am writing a shell script wherein I need to decompress a .lzo file. Do not see any leads. Anyone has any idea? I am basically reading a timestamped log file. My scripts accepts the year, month, date as arguments. I am able to locate my file but now when I have to decompress it, I have no clue how to handle a .lzo file. Help needed.
Thanks in advance.
Literally what I did to figure this out:
$ apropos lzo
IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress (3perl) - Uncompress gzip, zip, bzip2 or lzop file/buffer
Alright, so it's probably got something to do with lzop
$ lzo
No command 'lzo' found, did you mean:
Command 'lz' from package 'mtools' (main)
Command 'lzop' from package 'lzop' (universe)
lzo: command not found
The last one looks like it.
$ sudo apt-get install lzop
$ lzop
[...]
Commands:
-1 compress faster -9 compress better
-d decompress -x extract (same as -dPp)
Aaand chocolate for everyone!
