Running `--create' with `--verbose'
-----------------------------------

   If you include the `--verbose' (`-v') option on the command line,
`tar' will list the files it is acting on as it is working.  In verbose
mode, the `create' example above would appear as:

     $ tar --create --verbose --file=collection.tar blues folk jazz
     blues
     folk
     jazz

   This example is just like the example we showed which did not use
`--verbose', except that `tar' generated the remaining lines .

   In the rest of the examples in this chapter, we will frequently use
`verbose' mode so we can show actions or `tar' responses that you would
otherwise not see, and which are important for you to understand.
