xz
| Extension | .xz |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Description | 🔵 The XZ file format is a lossless compression file format that utilizes the LZMA2 compression algorithm. It is intended to supersede the older LZMA and LZMA2 formats, providing improved compression ratios and quicker decompression speeds. XZ files commonly use the .xz file extension. |
| Technical details | 🔵 XZ files are created using the xz utility or other compatible programs, and can be opened and extracted using various software applications such as 7-Zip, WinZip, and WinRAR. The format supports compressing multiple files or directories into a single archive, as well as preserving file attributes and permissions. The XZ format is based on a container format that includes the compressed data and metadata about the compression, such as the dictionary size, compression level, and checksums. The container format allows for easy streaming and seeking of compressed data, making it suitable for use in various applications. |

Consolidated Unix File Archive
| Extension | .tar |
| Category | 🔵 archives |
| Programs | 🔵 Apple Archive Utility 🔵 GNU Tar 🔵 StuffIt 🔵 WinZip |
| Description | 🔵 The TAR file was originally designed within the UNIX environment to support tape backup processes. It has since been utilized to consolidate numerous files into a single file for sharing or storage purposes and for file archiving. Additionally, TAR can be considered an application used for handling TAR files. |
| Technical details | 🔵 A TAR file refers to a collection of files combined into one, and this compression is typically not automatic. Applications such as gzip can be utilized to compress the entire TAR file. As a result, if compression is applied, the file extension is altered from .tar to .tar.gz. Nevertheless, the suffix would be determined by the type of compression employed. TAR files consist of around 512 bytes and a file header. |
