About the TAR format
TAR — Tape Archive
TAR (Tape ARchive) is a Unix/Linux file bundling format that combines multiple files and directories into a single file without compression. Originally designed for tape backup storage, it remains the foundation of Linux software distribution and is almost always used with an additional compression layer such as gzip (.tar.gz) or bz2 (.tar.bz2).
Common uses
- Linux and Unix software source distribution
- Creating uncompressed file bundles as a pipeline step
- Preserving file permissions, ownership, and symlinks
- Base for TGZ/TBZ2/TXZ compressed archives
