Explanation:

• tar: The command used for creating and extracting archive files.
• -c: Creates a new archive.
• -v: Enables verbose mode, displaying the files being added to the archive.
• -f: Specifies the filename of the archive.
• archive_name.tar: The name of the tarball you want to create. Replace archive_name with your desired name for the archive file.
• file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.log: These are the files to be archived. Replace these with the actual filenames you want to include in the archive.

Result:

This command will create a .tar archive named archive_name.tar containing the specified files (file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.log). The files will be archived in the current working directory unless full paths are provided.
