High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XZ Utils (previously LZMA Utils) is a set of free lossless data compressors, including LZMA and xz, for Unix-like operating systems (with experimental support for Windows as of version 4.999.8beta) controlled by a command-line interface. XZ Utils consists of three major components: xz, the command-line compressor, xzdec, the command-line decompressor, and liblzma, a software library with an API similar to the one of the popular zlib compression library. XZ Utils can compress and decompress both the xz and the lzma file formats, but as the project developers maintain that the lzma format is deprecated in favor of xz, XZ Utils compresses to xz unless otherwise specified. Both the behavior of the software as well as the properties of the file format have been designed to work analogous to the popular Unix archiving tools gzip and bzip2.
