Consolidated Unix File Archive

Extension	.tar
Category	🔵 archives
Programs	🔵 Apple Archive Utility 🔵 GNU Tar 🔵 StuffIt 🔵 WinZip
Description	🔵 The TAR file was originally designed within the UNIX environment to support tape backup processes. It has since been utilized to consolidate numerous files into a single file for sharing or storage purposes and for file archiving. Additionally, TAR can be considered an application used for handling TAR files.
Technical details	🔵 A TAR file refers to a collection of files combined into one, and this compression is typically not automatic. Applications such as gzip can be utilized to compress the entire TAR file. As a result, if compression is applied, the file extension is altered from .tar to .tar.gz. Nevertheless, the suffix would be determined by the type of compression employed. TAR files consist of around 512 bytes and a file header.

tar.bz2

Extension	.tar.bz2
Category	🔵 archives
Description	🔵 The tar.bz2 file format is a compression format used to compress and archive multiple files into a single file. It is a combination of two separate compression formats: tar (short for Tape Archive) and bzip2.
Technical details	🔵 The tar format is used to package multiple files into a single archive file, while preserving their individual attributes such as permissions, ownership, timestamps, and directory structures. The bzip2 format is then used to compress the tar archive, resulting in a smaller file size. The resulting .tar.bz2 file contains both the original files and the information needed to restore them to their original form, including the directory structure and file attributes.
MIME type	🔵 application/tar
