title: How to extract data from a par (Parchive) file?
body: <p>There seems to be quite some confusion about PAR files and Im struggling to find an answer to this. </p>
  
  <p>I have several PAR files, each containing several GB of data. Considering PAR is a type of archive file (similar to tar I assume), I would like to extract its contents using linux. However, I cant seem to find how to do this. I can only find how to repair files or create a par file.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to use the par2 command line tool to do this.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated  </p>
