What is a TAR file?
A TAR file (short for Tape Archive) is a widely-used archive format in Unix and Linux environments. Unlike other formats, TAR itself does not compress the files; instead, it simply bundles multiple files and directories into a single archive file. This makes it a useful tool for combining many files into one, preserving file system information such as directory structures, timestamps, and permissions.
Originally designed for tape backups, TAR files are now often used in conjunction with compression utilities like GZIP or BZIP2 to create compressed archives such as TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2. The simplicity and flexibility of TAR make it an essential format for archiving and distributing software and data on Unix-based systems.
