Translations:A tutorial on 'tar'/107/en

Notes:

• It is mandatory to use the -C {destination directory} for this command otherwise the command will extract the file to the same directory as the archive created for if it exists. If not, the command will create the same directory.
• It works to extract a file or a directory but we need to give the right path for the file or directory.
• The same command can be used to extract multiple files y adding the full path as in the previous example.
