I think you want to remove the c because that means “create” an archive, and you’re missing a z which applies gzip decompression/compression

I suppose it is tar version dependent, but on any recent Linux version I have used, you can just tar xvf <tar_name.tar.{z,gz,xz,etc}> and it will automatically figure out if it is compressed, what tools were used to compress it, and how to decompress it.

But you are right, x and c are mutually exclusive.

Yeap, apparently I can’t type. So, we’d all be dead anyway with that bomb.
