- Description
- The RPM file format, associated with the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), is a package management system primarily used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives like Fedora and CentOS. An RPM file is essentially a container for software or data that allows for easy installation, upgrading, and removal of software on a Linux system. It encapsulates compiled software, metadata about the package such as its version, architecture, and dependencies, and configuration files necessary for the software to run correctly.
- The ARJ Compressed File Archive (.arj) is a file format used for data compression and archiving. Developed in the early 1990s by Robert Jung, ARJ stands for "Archived by Robert Jung". The format allows for efficient compression of files, supporting multi-volume archives, which means a large archive can be split into several smaller files for easier management and distribution. It also supports a high level of encryption for secure data storage.
