- Description
- 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.
- An archive file developed by Bzip2 compressor mainly found on Unix OS. Its popularly used to move Linux application packages because of its high-level compression algorithms i.e. the Burrows-Wheeler compression and Run-Length Encoding (RLE).
