# RAR (algorithm)
|
|
|
|
This article describes the [RAR](https://www.rarlab.com/) algorithm.
|
|
For the linux `rar` or `unrar` package see the
|
|
[rar package entry](/wiki/linux/rar_(package).md).
|
|
|
|
RAR - short for Roshal Archive - is an algorithm for compression aswell as a
|
|
format (`.rar`).
|
|
RAR archives can feature files with extensions of an `r` with two digits
|
|
following like `.r00` or `.r01`.
|
|
When more than 100 data files are needed the letter will turn to an `s` and so
|
|
forth until enough files have been created.
|
|
These are parts of the compressed data that are created when the data is
|
|
compressed.
