1.4 How 'tar' Archives are Named
================================
Conventionally, 'tar' archives are given names ending with '.tar'. This
is not necessary for 'tar' to operate properly, but this manual follows
that convention in order to accustom readers to it and to make examples
more clear.
Often, people refer to 'tar' archives as "'tar' files," and archive
members as "files" or "entries". For people familiar with the operation
of 'tar', this causes no difficulty. However, in this manual, we
consistently refer to "archives" and "archive members" to make learning
to use 'tar' easier for novice users.
