- Description
- A disc image file format that contains exact duplicate data from an original CD/DVD and is based on the ISO-9660 Standard. It stores images, directory structures, file attributes, boot code, and any other filesystem information.
- 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.
