The tar-filename.tar is the tar file to display.
You can also limit the display of the files by specifying an optional list of files or directories after the tar
file; then only those files appear. If none are specified, all files and directories appear.
This example shows how to display the contents of a switch tar file that is in flash memory:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1.tar
info (219 bytes)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/ (directory)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/html/ (directory)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1.bin (610856 bytes)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/info (219 bytes)
This example shows how to display only the /html directory and its contents:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:c3750-tv0-m.tar c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/html
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/html/ (directory)
c3750-i5q3l2-mz.121-6.AX1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)

Extracting a tar File

For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local file system. These options are supported:

The tar-filename.tar is the tar file from which to extract files.

extracted. Use the dir/file... option to specify an optional list of files or directories within the tar file to
be extracted. If none are specified, all files and directories are extracted.
