-v: show all processes
-O: unpack file to standard output

Compress
tar –cvf jpg.tar *.jpg //Pack all jpg files in the directory into tar.jpg
tar –czf jpg.tar .gz *.jpg //Pack all jpg files in the directory into jpg.tar, and compress it with gzip to generate a gzipped package named jpg.tar.gz
tar –cjf jpg.tar.bz2 *.jpg //Pack all jpg files in the directory into jpg.tar, and compress it with bzip2 to generate a bzip2-compressed package named jpg.tar.bz2
tar –cZf jpg.tar.Z *. jpg //Pack all jpg files in the directory into jpg.tar, and compress them with compress to generate a umcompress compressed package named jpg.tar.Z
rar a jpg.rar *.jpg //rar format For compression, you need to download rar for linux
zip jpg.zip *.jpg //For zip format compression, you need to download zip for linux first.

Unzip
tar –xvf file.tar //Unzip the tar package
tar -xzvf file.tar.gz / /decompress tar.gz
tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2 //decompress tar.bz2
tar –xZvf file.tar.Z //decompress tar.Z
unrar e file.rar //decompress rar
unzip file.zip //decompress zip

Summary
1. Decompress *.tar with tar –xvf2
, *.gz decompress with gzip -d or gunzip3, *.tar.gz
and *.tgz decompress with tar –xzf4
, *.bz2 use bzip2 -d or use bunzip2 decompresses
5, *.tar.bz2 decompresses with tar -xjf
6, *.Z decompresses with uncompress
7, *.tar.Z decompresses with tar -xZf
8, *.rar decompresses with unrar e
9, *.zip uses unzip decompress
