Create, list, and extract archives under Linux (tar, star, gzip, bzip2)

Create Archive: 
  tar -cvf tmp.tar tmp
  star -c -f=tmp.star tmp

Create Archive, and with compression: 
  tar -cvf - tmp | gzip > tmp.tar.gz
  star -c tmp | bzip2 > tmp.star.bz2

List Archive: 
  star -t -f=tmp.star
  tar -tvf tmp.tar

List Archive, and with compression: 
  gzip -cd tmp.star.gz | star -t
  bzip2 -cd tmp.tar.bz2 | tar -tvf -

Extract Archive: 
  tar -xvf tmp.tar
  star -x -f=tmp.star

Extract Archive, and with compression: 
  gzip -cd tmp.tar.gz  | tar -xvf  -
  bzip2 -cd tmp.star.bz2 | star -x
