  <p><app>File Roller</app> is an application for managing archives, designed to
  be easy to use. It provides all the tools necessary for creating, modifying or
  extracting archives.</p>

  <note style="advanced">
    <p>An archive is composed of one or more files, along with metadata. It may
    be encrypted in part or as a whole. By collecting multiple data files
    together into a single one, archive files are useful for storing data and
    transferring it between computers.</p>
