TAR is a file format designed to pack multiple files into a single file, for exchange purposes. This allows to pack a file system composed of multiple directories with files into a single file that can be moved through the network, or packed into a disk.

A file system driver that is able to read the contents of a TAR file would be desired. Uses for this file system include adding a ramdisk to the bootable media, that would allow the bootloader to simply include the TAR file when loading the kernel, instead of multiple modules, when booting from a read only media, such as the CD-ROM built using the buildtool.
