The tar command archives and extracts files to  and  from  a  single  file  called  a tarfile.

tar -cvf <abc.tar> /abc/*

This command would bundle all the cointents in '/abc' directory un abc.tar.
The bundled contents could be listed using 'tar -tvf abc.tar'

And Extracted by command 'tar -xvf abc.tar'.
