About .TAR

A TAR file is a type of archive file that groups multiple files into one, preserving the directory structure. It does not compress the data itself, but can be combined with compression formats like GZ or XZ.

TAR files are used to bundle multiple files into a single archive without compression, primarily in Unix/Linux environments.
