2. compress (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compress_(software)

   compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. [1] Compared to gzip's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster at decompression, and has a significantly lower compression ratio. [2] 1.8 MiB of memory is used to compress the Hutter Prize data, slightly more than gzip's ...

3. XZ Utils - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils

   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) liblzma, a software library with an API similar to zlib

4. Disk compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_compression

   A disk compression software utility increases the amount of information that can be stored on a hard disk drive of given size. Unlike a file compression utility, which compresses only specified files—and which requires the user to designate the files to be compressed—an on-the-fly disk compression utility works automatically through resident software without the user needing to be aware of ...

5. 7-Zip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip

   7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as "archives".It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999.

6. bzip2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bzip2

   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 such as tar for tasks such as handling multiple files, and other tools for encryption, and archive splitting.

7. lzip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lzip

   lzip is a free, command-line tool for the compression of data; it employs the Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LZMA) with a user interface that is familiar to users of usual Unix compression tools, such as gzip and bzip2.
