Earlier, Google released a detailed explanation and examples of how mechanisms work to control access and indexing of websites. The Google Blog has a basic but clear explanation of the robots exclusion protocol.
In a nutshell:
NOINDEX tag tells Google not to index a specific page
NOFOLLOW tag tells Google not to follow the links on a specific page
NOARCHIVE tag tells Google not to store a cached copy of your page
NOSNIPPET tag tells Google not to show a snippet aka description under your Google listing, it will also not show a cached link in the search results
