Package: xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091004-1)

high compression-ratio compressor

This package includes the xz compression tool and other command line tools for working with files compressed with the Lempel-Ziv/Markov-chain compression method. It supports two formats: .xz and the legacy .lzma format. Commands provided include xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and so on.

The primary algorithm supported by the .xz format is the LZMA2 algorithm. Compression is generally good (on par with or better than bzip2), decompression fast, and RAM usage high during compression and low during decompression.
