ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
|
|
|
|
extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
|
|
|
|
a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
|
|
|
|
retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
|
|
|
|
The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
|
|
|
|
and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
|

The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information

By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the

filename, this option removes that limitation.

It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long

filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block

is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
