Hi,
“Tar” this is very common and very useful word in Linux environment. Actually this is a command. And also it is a file extension. Tar is a basic word of command.
We can use is with adding several letters and words to do various works. In Windows we can see .RAR or .ZIP files. In Linux those kind of compressed files extension is .tar.
In Linux you can exact these kinds of files by right click on the file we want. Here are some commands allocated with the tar command.
Here are some additional details about the tar files.
Thank you.
