2. gzip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

   gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression.The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler as a free software replacement for the compress program used in early Unix systems, and intended for use by GNU (from which the "g" of gzip is derived).

3. B1 Free Archiver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B1_Free_Archiver

   B1 Free Archiver supports opening most popular archive formats (such as B1, ZIP, RAR, 7z, GZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2 and ISO) but can create only .b1 and .zip archives. [6] The utility can also create split archives which consist of several parts each of specified size [7] and password-protected archives, encrypted with 256 bit AES algorithm. [8]

4. List of archive formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats

   .gz application/gzip [5] gzip: Unix-like GNU Zip, the primary compression format used by Unix-like systems. The compression algorithm is Deflate, which combines LZSS with Huffman coding. .lz application/x-lzip lzip: Unix-like An alternate LZMA algorithm implementation, with support for checksums and ident bytes. .lz4 LZ4: Unix-like

5. Self-extracting archive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-extracting_archive

   A self-extracting archive (SFX or SEA) is a computer executable program which combines compressed data in an archive file with machine-executable code to extract the information. Running on a compatible operating system, it does not need a suitable extractor in the target computer to extract the data.

6. XZ Utils - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils

   Decompression speed is higher than bzip2, but lower than gzip. Compression can be much slower than gzip, and is slower than bzip2 for high levels of compression, and is most useful when a compressed file will be used many times. [4] [5] XZ Utils consists of two major components: xz, the command-line compressor and decompressor (analogous to gzip)

7. Comparison of file archivers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_archivers

   The operating systems the archivers can run on without emulation or compatibility layer. Ubuntu's own GUI Archive manager, for example, can open and create many archive formats (including Rar archives) even to the extent of splitting into parts and encryption and ability to be read by the native program.

8. zlib - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zlib

   zlib (/ ˈ z iː l ɪ b / or "zeta-lib", / ˈ z iː t ə ˌ l ɪ b /) [2] [3] is a software library used for data compression as well as a data format. [4] zlib was written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler and is an abstraction of the DEFLATE compression algorithm used in their gzip file compression program. zlib is also a crucial component of many software platforms, including Linux, macOS ...

9. ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format)

   The program gzip, for example, happens to be able to extract an entry from a .ZIP file if it is at offset zero. This allows arbitrary data to occur in the file both before and after the ZIP archive data, and for the archive to still be read by a ZIP application.
