-Storing files conveniently on magnetic tape was the initial use of tar archives. The name "tar" comes from this use. Despite the utility's name, `tar` can direct its output to available devices, files, or other programs (using pipes) and can access remote devices or files (as archives).

 When using `tar`, note that it has two saving modes:
 
 * **Relative mode** (default): Remove the leading character '/' from the file. Even if you have added the file with an absolute path, `tar` will remove the leading character "/" in this mode.
-* **Absolute mode**: Keep the leading character '/' and include it as part of the file name. To enable this save mode, you need to use the `-P` option. In this mode, you must represent all files as absolute paths. For security reasons, you should not use this save mode in most cases unless there are special scenario requirements.

-When you use `tar`, you will encounter suffixes such as `.tar.gz`, `.tar.xz`, `.tar.bz2`, which indicate creating an archive first (categorizing related files as a single file), and then compressing the file with the relevant compression type or compression algorithm.

 !!! Note
 
-    In GNU/Linux, most files do not require an extension except for the desktop environment (GUI). The reason for artificially adding suffixes is to facilitate recognition by human users. If the systems administrator sees a `.tar.gz` or `.tgz` file extension, for instance, then he knows how to deal with the file.

-    In terms of operation types, in order to preserve user habits, the author recommends that you keep the prefix "-". Of course, it is not required. The operational parameters here indicate what your primary function is with `tar`. In other words, you need to choose one of the above types.

-    In some older versions of tar, option(s) are referred to as "key(s)", which means that using options with a "-" prefix may cause the `tar` to not work as expected. At this point, you need to remove the "-" prefix to make it work properly.
