Dear folks,
I am trying to extract files from a tar xz file.
The file is a kernel file.
I ran the tar -xf command:
root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# tar -xf linux-4.14.15.tar.xz
If you look at the date and time then you can see that no directories have been created with from it in the directory.....
root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# date
Thu 25 Jan 20:11:23 GMT 2018
root@mikef-PC:/usr/src# ls -l
total 199992
drwxrwxr-x 24 root root 4096 Jan 23 18:58 linux-4.14.15

Can anyone think of a command that will let me know where the files went/confirm it ran properly?
Cheers
