Description
XZ
XZ is a cool tool that gives you a handy data compression library and some command line tools to work with. With XZ, you can easily create .tbz and .pkg packages. It’s super useful for anyone who needs to manage files efficiently!
File Formats Supported by XZ
The main file format you'll be using is the .xz format, but don’t worry if you’re dealing with older stuff; it also supports the legacy .lzma format. This means you can work with both new and older files without a hitch!
Compression Algorithms in XZ
One of the great things about the .xz format is that it supports multiple compression algorithms, which are known as "filters" in the context of XZ Utils. The primary filter right now is LZMA2. If you compare it to gzip, you’ll find that XZ Utils typically makes files about 30% smaller! That’s pretty impressive, right?
Easier Integration with Existing Apps
If you're thinking about adding support for the .xz format into your current applications or scripts, you'll be glad to know that the API of liblzma is quite similar to zlib's API. This makes it easier for developers to adapt their software without starting from scratch.
User-Friendly Command Line Tools
The command line tool called xz also has a syntax that’s similar to gzip's command line syntax. So, if you're already familiar with gzip commands, picking up xz will feel like a breeze!
