Description
The cpio file type is associated with Unix-based systems and represents a format used for archiving and compressing files. The name "cpio" stands for "copy in, copy out," reflecting the method by which files are gathered into an archive or extracted from one. This format supports various compression methods and is commonly utilized for creating archives in backup processes, distributing packages, or consolidating files for easier transfer. A cpio archive can contain multiple files and directories, preserving their file attributes.
The TXZ file format is a combination of TAR archiving and XZ compression. It is used to pack multiple files into a single archive (TAR) and then compress it using XZ compression to reduce the file size. The TAR aspect allows for the collection of various files and directories into a single file, preserving their structure and attributes. The XZ compression, known for its high compression ratio, further compresses this archive, making the resulting TXZ file more efficient for storage or transmission.
