How do I turn off the output from tar commands on Unix?

Question

I had a look at the options, but nothing seemed obvious as a manner in which to turn off the output when uncompressing a file. The below is the code I am currently using... I just need the option to switch off the output. ``` tar -zxvf tmp.tar.gz -C ~/tmp1 ```

Accepted Answer

Just drop the option `v`.

`-v` is for verbose. If you don't use it then it won't display:

```
tar -zxf tmp.tar.gz -C ~/tmp1
```
