Both formats, briefly
RARIN
RAR is a closed format from the makers of WinRAR, known for splitting one large archive into numbered parts and for recovery data that can survive minor damage. Writing RAR files needs licensed software, though reading them is common. Upload a RAR here when somebody sent you one and you would rather keep working in an open format.
CPIOOUT
CPIO stores a stream of files together with their metadata, and it is still standard where Linux boots from an initramfs image or where an RPM package carries its payload. Desktop software rarely opens it directly. Convert a CPIO archive when you need to see what a boot image or a package actually contains.
Three steps, start to finish
