The v switch can be used to enable the verbose mode. This can be useful if you would like to see a list of files being compressed or extracted. For example, lets extract the dir.tar.gz archive, with verbose mode enabled, using the following command.

tar xvzf dir.tar.gz # ©2007 linux.dsplabs.com.au

The above command produces a list of inflated files as shown in the following output.

dir/
dir/NVIDIA_DRIVER_README.txt
dir/NVIDIA_LICENSE.txt
dir/readme.txt
