.SH NAME
tarlz \- creates tar archives with multimember lzip compression
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tarlz
[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Tarlz is a combined implementation of the tar archiver and the lzip
compressor. By default tarlz creates, lists and extracts archives in a
simplified posix pax format compressed with lzip on a per file basis. Each
tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the end\-of\-file
blocks. This method adds an indexed lzip layer on top of the tar archive,
making it possible to decode the archive safely in parallel. The resulting
multimember tar.lz archive is fully backward compatible with standard tar
tools like GNU tar, which treat it like any other tar.lz archive. Tarlz can
append files to the end of such compressed archives.
Tarlz is a massively parallel (multi\-threaded) combined implementation of
the tar archiver and the lzip compressor. Tarlz creates, lists and extracts
archives in a simplified posix pax format compressed with lzip, keeping the
alignment between tar members and lzip members. This method adds an indexed
lzip layer on top of the tar archive, making it possible to decode the
archive safely in parallel. The resulting multimember tar.lz archive is
fully backward compatible with standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat
it like any other tar.lz archive. Tarlz can append files to the end of such
compressed archives.
.PP
The tarlz file format is a safe posix\-style backup format. In case of
corruption, tarlz can extract all the undamaged members from the tar.lz
