- Description
- AR is a Unix archive file that is purposely used to develop and update static library files for creating .deb packages. Currently, its been replaced by .tar archive file for everything except static libraries.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
