Description
A TAZ file is essentially a compressed archive created using the Unix-based Tar archiving utility, with compression applied through the compress program. The "tar" part of the filename stands for "tape archive," reflecting the utility's origins in backing up data to tape drives, while the "z" indicates that the archive has been compressed using the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) algorithm to reduce its size.
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.
