Huh. tar can infer it from the data itself. On the other hand, it chooses explicitly not to. % cat ~/Downloads/Python-3.3.0.tar.bz2\| tar xvf - tar: Archive is compressed. Use -j option tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now % cat ~/Downloads/Python-3.3.0.tgz\| tar xvf - tar: Archive is compressed. Use -z option tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I guess "tar" knows explicit is better than implicit too ;-)
