@pindex tar
If you visit a file with extension @samp{.tar}, it is assumed to be an
@dfn{archive} made by the @code{tar} program and it is viewed in a Tar
mode buffer. This provides a Dired-like listing of the contents.
@xref{Dired}. You can move around the component files as in Dired to
visit and manipulate them.
The keys @kbd{e}, @kbd{f} and @kbd{RET} all extract a component file
into its own buffer. You can edit it there and when you save the buffer
the edited version will replace the version in the Tar buffer. @kbd{v}
extracts a file into a buffer in View mode. @kbd{o} extracts the file
and displays it in another window, so you could edit the file and
operate on the archive simultaneously. @kbd{d} marks a file for
deletion when you later use @kbd{x}, and @kbd{u} unmarks a file, as in
Dired. @kbd{C} copies a file from the archive to disk and @kbd{R}
renames a file. @kbd{g} reverts the buffer from the archive on disk.
The keys @kbd{M}, @kbd{G}, and @kbd{O} change the file's permission
bits, group, and owner, respectively.
If your display supports colors and the mouse, moving the mouse
pointer across a file name highlights that file name, indicating that
you can click on it. Clicking @kbd{Mouse-2} on the highlighted file
name extracts the file into a buffer and displays that buffer.
Saving the Tar buffer writes a new version of the archive to disk with
the changes you made to the components.
If you enable Auto Compression mode (@pxref{Compressed Files}), then
Tar mode will be used also for compressed archives in files with
extensions @samp{.tgz}, @code{.tar.Z} and @code{.tar.gz}.
It is not necessary to have the @code{tar} program available to use
Tar mode or Archive mode---Emacs reads the archives directly. For
compressed archives such as @code{.tar.gz}, you need the appropriate
uncompress program to be available to Emacs.

@cindex unzip archives
A separate but similar Archive mode is used for archives produced by
the programs @code{arc}, @code{zip}, @code{lzh} and @code{zoo} which
have extensions corresponding to the program names. These archiving
programs are typically used on MS-DOS and MS-Windows systems. Java
class archives with extension @samp{.jar} are also recognized. The
keybindings in Archive mode are similar to those in Tar mode.
class archives with extension @samp{.jar} are also recognized.
Unlike Tar mode, Archive mode runs the appropriate program to unpack and
repack archives. Details of the program names and their options can be
set in the `Archive' Customize group.
The keybindings in Archive mode are similar to those in Tar mode, with
the addition of the @kbd{m} key which marks a file for subsequent
operations, and @kbd{M-@key{DEL}} which unmarks all the marked files.
Also, the @kbd{a} key toggles the display of file information in those
archive types where all of of the info is too long to be displayed on a
single line. Operations such as @samp{change mode}, @samp{change owner}
and @samp{rename} are supported only for some of the archive formats.
Unlike Tar mode, Archive mode runs the appropriate program to unpack
and repack archives. Details of the program names and their options can
be set in the @samp{Archive} Customize group. However, you don't need
these programs to @emph{view} the archive contents, only to extract and
delete archived files.
