which is the primary purpose of using the tar command
tar (computing) In computing, tar is a computer software utility for collecting many files into one archive file, often referred to as a tarball, for distribution or backup purposes. The name is derived from (t)ape (ar)chive, as it was originally developed to write data to sequential I/O devices with no file system of their own. The archive data sets created by tar contain various file system parameters, such as name, time stamps, ownership, file access permissions, and directory organization. The command line utility was first introduced in the seventh edition of unix (v7) in January 1979, replacing the tp program.[1] The file structure to store this information was later standardized in POSIX.1-1988[2] and later POSIX.1-2001[3] and became a format supported by most modern file archiving systems.
Philippine tarsier The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta), known locally as mawmag in Cebuano/Visayans and mamag in Luzon, is a species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly on the islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. It is a member of the approximately 45-million-year-old family Tarsiidae,[2] whose name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone.[3] Formerly a member of the genus Tarsius,[4] it is now listed as the only member of the genus Carlito, a new genus named after the conservationist Carlito Pizarras.[4][5]
