- Description
- An archive file format that uses lossless data compression LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain) algorithm and incorporates 32-bit CRC checksum to check data integrity of the file. Lzip supports greater compression ratios than bzip2.
- File archive compressed with both .TAR and .BZ2 compression; often found on Unix systems; must first be decompressed (using Bzip 2 decompression), then the files must be extracted from the tar archive.
