| Technical Details | The tar format is a popular means of digital distribution of multiple files over the internet. It should not be confused with compression/decompression format as tar is merely a tool to collate multiple files together. Combined with other compression tools and formats such as bzip2 or gzip, a tar file can then be compressed or decompressed as needed. |
