All on one line; multiple --excludes may be used, or see tar(1) for possibly better options.
Explanation:
-C : change to directory --exclude : DWISOTT --cf : create, output file is... - : stdout | : pipe to tar -C : change to directory that follows -xvf : extract, verbose (list files as they are processed), read from file - : stdin (ie, read from the pipe).
