The current directory or specified argument is deleted from the list of files to be extracted. The most expedient way to extract files from a directory is to add the directory to the extraction list, then delete unnecessary files. The fastest way to extract a few files is to start with the last volume, then work toward the first volume. List the current or specified directory. If the verbose key is set, the inode number of each entry is also listed.
Nothing is extracted from the tape.
This setting is useful for cleaning up after a restore aborts prematurely. verbose The sense of the v modifier is toggled. When set, the verbose key causes the ls command to list the inode numbers of all entries. It also causes restore and rrestore to print out information about each file as it is extracted. If the -b option is not specified, restore and rrestore try to determine the tape block size dynamically. If the name of the file is - , restore reads from standard input.
