Para descomprimir los ficheros bzip2 al vuelo, esto es, para ser capaces
de utilizar less en estos ficheros sin tener primero que
descomprimirlos, podemos crear un lesspipe.sh (página man de
less) como éste:
#!/bin/sh
# This is a preprocessor for 'less'. It is used when this environment
# variable is set: LESSOPEN="|lesspipe.sh %s"
case "$1" in
*.tar) tar tvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;; # View contents of various tar'd files
*.tgz) tar tzvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
# This one work for the unmodified version of tar:
*.tar.bz2) bzip2 -cd $1 $1 2>/dev/null | tar tzvvf - ;;
#This one works with the patched version of tar:
# *.tar.bz2) tyvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.tar.gz) tar tzvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.tar.Z) tar tzvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.tar.z) tar tzvvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.bz2) bzip2 -dc $1 2>/dev/null ;; # View compressed files correctly
*.Z) gzip -dc $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.z) gzip -dc $1 2>/dev/null ;;
