NAME [edit section]

unpack - unpack the test program source tarfile

SYNOPSIS [edit section]

unpack [nostrip]

DESCRIPTION [edit section]

The unpack function is used during the build phase, to extract the tar file into the current directory

The following extensions are supported:

• gz, tgz - compressed with gzip
• bz2 - compressed with bzip2
• tar - uncompressed

This is normally called by the function pre_build, but can be used directly by the base test script. (Although there are no examples of this that I'm aware of.)

EXAMPLES [edit section]

• $1 is optional and may have the word "nostrip" to indicate that leading path components won't be stripped

RETURN [edit section]

Returns result of the 'tar' command
