Notes on TAR command

create:
tar -cvf mystuff.tar mystuff/
tar -czvf mystuff.tgz mystuff/

extracting:
tar -xvf mystuff.tar
tar -xzvf mystuff.tgz

testing/viewing:
tar -tvf mystuff.tar
tar -tzvf mystuff.tgz

Note that .tgz is the same thing as .tar.gz
Tar "tars up" a bunch of files into one "tar-file"

c create new archive of given files
t list filenames as they are archived
z compress archive
f file (archive as file, not on tape, etc.)
v verbose, output filename
