提取（解压）

如果要将归档文件提取到指定的目录，则会在下面运行命令：

tar -xf confidential.tar.gz -C /home/students/files

如果我们只想将Companical.tar.gz文件提取到我们正在处理的同一个目录中，则我们运行以下命令：

tar -xf confidential.tar.gz

Usage: tar [OPTION. ] [FILE]. 
GNU 'tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can
restore individual files from the archive.
Examples:
  tar -cf archive.tar foo bar  # Create archive.tar from files foo and bar.
  tar -tvf archive.tar         # List all files in archive.tar verbosely.
  tar -xf archive.tar          # Extract all files from archive.tar.
 Local file name selection:
      --add-file=FILE        add given FILE to the archive (useful if its name
                             starts with a dash)
  -C, --directory=DIR        change to directory DIR
      --exclude=PATTERN      exclude files, given as a PATTERN
      --exclude-backups      exclude backup and lock files
      --exclude-caches       exclude contents of directories containing
                             CACHEDIR.TAG, except for the tag file itself
      --exclude-caches-all   exclude directories containing CACHEDIR.TAG
      --exclude-caches-under exclude everything under directories containing
                             CACHEDIR.TAG
      --recursion            recurse into directories (default)
  -T, --files-from=FILE      get names to extract or create from FILE
      --unquote              unquote input file or member names (default)
      --verbatim-files-from  -T reads file names verbatim (no option handling)
  -X, --exclude-from=FILE    exclude patterns listed in FILE
 File name matching options (affect both exclude and include patterns):
      --anchored             patterns match file name start
      --ignore-case          ignore case
      --no-anchored          patterns match after any '/' (default for
                             exclusion)
      --no-ignore-case       case sensitive matching (default)
      --no-wildcards         verbatim string matching
      --no-wildcards-match-slash   wildcards do not match '/'
      --wildcards            use wildcards (default for exclusion)
      --wildcards-match-slash   wildcards match '/' (default for exclusion)
