  2. Solid compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_compression

    A tar.gz is created by joining the files in tar and then compressing with gzip. 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.

    In computing, tar is a computer software utility for collecting many files into one archive file, often referred to as a tarball, for distribution or backup purposes. The name is derived from "tape archive", as it was originally developed to write data to sequential I/O devices with no file system of their own, such as devices that use magnetic tape.

    A single file container/archive that can be reconstructed even after total loss of file system structures. .tar application/x-tar Tape archive: Unix-like A common archive format used on Unix-like systems. Generally used in conjunction with compressors such as gzip, bzip2, compress or xz to create .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.Z or tar.xz files.

    (The tar program in its own does not compress; it just stores multiple files within one tape archive.) Files can be returned to their original state using uncompress. The usual action of uncompress is not merely to create an uncompressed copy of the file, but also to restore the timestamp and other attributes of the compressed file.

  7. Dar (disk archiver) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dar_(disk_archiver)

    Per-file compression with gzip, bzip2, lzo, xz or lzma (as opposed to compressing the whole archive). An individual can choose not to compress already compressed files based on their filename suffix. Fast-extracting of files from anywhere in the archive; Fast listing of archive contents through saving the catalogue of files in the archive

  8. Self-extracting archive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-extracting_archive

    Running on a compatible operating system, it does not need a suitable extractor in the target computer to extract the data. [citation needed] The executable part of the file is known as a decompressor stub. Self-extracting files are used to share compressed files with a party that may not have the software needed to decompress a regular archive.

    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.
