xz: xz (compression utility based on the LZMA algorithm) xz: xz: LZMA is a general purporse compression algorithm designed by Igor xz: Pavlov as part of 7-Zip. It provides high compression ratio while xz: keeping the decompression speed fast. XZ Utils are an attempt to make xz: LZMA compression easy to use on free (as in freedom) operating xz: systems. xz: xz: The people most responsible for xz are Igor Pavlov, Ville Koskinen, xz: and Lasse Collin.
