title: Gunzip alternative to tar command
body: <p>A straight-forward question:</p>
  
  <p>Could you please guys give me an alternative to this tar command, using gunzip ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>tar -C /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods -xzf custom_opt_mod-mod_geoip.tar.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want this because when I am trying to run that command I get with this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar:
    Error is not recoverable: exiting now</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
