In computing, solid compression is a method for data compression of multiple files, wherein all the uncompressed files are concatenated and treated as a single data block. Such an archive is called a solid archive. It is used natively in the 7z [1] and RAR [2] formats, as well as indirectly in tar-based formats such as .tar.gz and .tar.bz2.
The split command first appeared in Version 3 Unix [1] and is part of the X/Open Portability Guide since issue 2 of 1987. It was inherited into the first version of POSIX.1 and the Single Unix Specification. [2] The version of split bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Torbjorn Granlund and Richard Stallman. [3]
By default, 7-Zip creates 7z-format archives with a .7z file extension. Each archive can contain multiple directories and files. Each archive can contain multiple directories and files. As a container format, security or size reduction are achieved by looking for similarities throughout the data using a stacked combination of filters.
The program outputs pieces of the file separated by the patterns into files xx00, xx01, etc., and outputs the size of each piece, in bytes, to standard output. The optional parameters modify the behaviour of the program in various ways. For example, the default prefix string (xx) and number of digits (2) in the output filenames can be changed.
bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm. It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver. It relies on separate external utilities for tasks such as handling multiple files, encryption, and archive-splitting. bzip2 was initially released in 1996 by Julian Seward.
libzip is an open-source library for handling zip archives. It is written in portable C and can thus be used on multiple operating systems. It is based on zlib. It is used by PHP's zip extension for zip file support [2] and MySQL Workbench. [3] It is also used by KDE's ark archiving tool for zip archive support.

PeaZip is a free and open-source file manager and file archiver [5] for Microsoft Windows, ReactOS, [6] Linux, [7] [8] [9] MacOS [10] and BSD [11] [12] by Giorgio Tani. It supports its native PEA archive format [ 13 ] (supporting compression, multi-volume split, and flexible authenticated encryption and integrity check schemes) and other ...
