RAR

RAR is a proprietary archive file format created by Eugene Roshal in 1995. He was a Russian software engineer who designed it with the idea of storing information – in compressed or normal form – in mind.

The filename extensions used by RAR are the following ones: .rar for the data volume set, as well as .rev for the recovery volume set. Moreover, the minimum size of a RAR file is 20 bytes.

At the moment, there are quite a few software applications available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD, Android, and not only, for the extraction of RAR files.
