I wonder how to list the content of a tar file only down to some level?
I understand tar tvf mytar.tar
will list all files, but sometimes I would like to only see directories down to some level.
Similarly, for the command ls
, how do I control the level of subdirectories that will be displayed? By default, it will only show the direct subdirectories, but not go further.
depth=1
tar --exclude="*/*" -tf file.tar
depth=2
tar --exclude="*/*/*" -tf file.tar
