Geological | The UNIX tar command archives (saves) and extracts (restores) multiple files onto a single tarfile archive. A tarfile is usually a magnetic tape, but it can be any file. This single logical file may span multiple physical tapes. This is known as multi-volume tar. Such tapes do not have a filemark at the end of intermediate volumes, and an archived file may be split across multiple tapes. The tar programs for Macintosh and DOS environments are available at the following websites.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Tar is a viscous black liquid which is a derived from the destructive distillation of organic matter. Most tar is produced from coal as a byproduct of coke production, however it can also be produced from petroleum, wood or peat.
Naturally occuring tar pits (e.g. the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles) actually contain asphalt not tar, and should be more properly known as asphalt pits. Before the development of inherently waterproof substitutes, tar was used as a roofant seal for shingles, and also to seal the hulls of ships and boats and to waterproof sails. It is also a vital component of the first sealed or tarmac roads.
For the computer term, see TAR file format.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computing, tar is a type of packing file format: the Tape ARchive format. It is used widely in the Unix-like world (including Linux) and more recently in Microsoft Windows. tar does not support compression, but is used to accumulate a large collection of files into a single archive file (packer), while preserving filesystem information such as user/group, permissions, date, and directory structure.tar was originally developed for use with linear-access devices such as tape drives. Somewhere along the line the -f argument was added and tar is now more frequently used as a general archive utility. tar's linear roots can be seen in its slow partial-extraction performance (whereby it has to read through the whole archive to extract only the final file).
tar is most commonly used in tandem with an external compression format such as gzip, bzip2 or, formerly, compress. These compression utilities and generally only compress a single file, hence the pairing with tar
- A tar file ("tarball") that is subsequently compressed using gzip usually has an extention of .tar.gz (.tar being the tar file, .gz being added by gzip). Due to the limitations on file extensionss on DOS, these are also sometimes called TGZ files.
- A tar file that is subsequently compressed using bzip2 has an extension of .tar.bz2 or, sometimes, a .TBZ
