Description: archiver with multimember lzip compression
Tarlz is an alternative implementation of the tar archiver. It creates, lists
and extracts archives in the 'ustar' format compressed with lzip on a per file
basis. Tarlz can append files to the end of such compressed archives.
Tarlz is a combined implementation of the tar archiver and the lzip compressor.
.
Each tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the
end-of-file blocks. This method works for any tar format and is fully backward
compatible with standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat the resulting
multimember tar.lz archive like any other tar.lz archive.
By default it creates, lists and extracts archives 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.
