You may also want to look at gpar2 and/or pypar2 for handling par files.

I thought the OP was asking about rar not par.
p7zip can also open rar as well as other formats. |

Par and rar files are linked pretty closely. Par files are generally used to repair rar files.

No, but if you get a corrupt rar file(which is fairly common) you can repair the rar file with gpar2/pypar2(using par2 files) so that you can extract the rar.
