Linux gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

 

 

Error when extracting tar.gz files

tar -zxvf otp_src_18.3.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

 

 

Maybe the file does not support gzip format, so get rid of it z

tar -xvf otp_src_18. 3 .tar.gz
