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)
File formats often have a published specification describing the encoding method and enabling testing of program intended functionality. Not all formats have freely available specification documents, partly because some developers view their specification documents as trade secrets, and partly because other developers never author a formal specification document, letting precedent set by other ...
All of the Linux filesystem drivers support all three FAT types, namely FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32.Where they differ is in the provision of support for long filenames, beyond the 8.3 filename structure of the original FAT filesystem format, and in the provision of Unix file semantics that do not exist as standard in the FAT filesystem format such as file permissions.

file must be able to determine the types directory, FIFO, socket, block special file, and character special file; zero-length files are identified as such; an initial part of file is considered and file is to use position-sensitive tests; the entire file is considered and file is to use context-sensitive tests; the file is identified as a data file
