tar -czvf super.tar.gz ./super/ ./mono/
add all files under subdir 'super' and 'mono' into the compressed file 'super.tar.gz'.
tar -xzvf super.tar.gz ./temp/
extract all files from 'super.tar.gz' to subdir 'temp'.
tar -z --list --file=super.tar.gz
list all the contents of file 'super.tar.gz'. Because the file is packed by tar first, then compressed by gzip, so if you want to see the contents of .gz file, you much add the filter parameter '-z'.
