2.8.1 Extracting an Entire Archive

To extract an entire archive, specify the archive file name only, with no individual file names as arguments. For example,

$ tar -xvf collection.tar

produces this:

-rw-r--r-- myself/user 28 1996-10-18 16:31 jazz -rw-r--r-- myself/user 21 1996-09-23 16:44 blues -rw-r--r-- myself/user 20 1996-09-23 16:44 folk
