TAR.LZ (TLZ)到TGZ (TAR.GZ)转换器

TAR.LZ is a compound archive format combining TAR) archiving with lzip compression, a format created by Antonio Diaz Diaz and first released in 2009. The TAR layer bundles files with full Unix metadata into a single stream, and lzip applies LZMA compression with a robust container that includes per-member CRC-32 integrity checking and clean member boundaries. Lzip was designed with long-term archival in mind — it produces a simple, well-documented format with strong error recovery properties: if part of a TAR.LZ file is corrupted, undamaged members can still be extracted, unlike monolithic compressed streams where corruption propagates. The compression ratios are essentially identical to LZMA/XZ since lzip uses the same LZMA algorithm. One advantage is archival resilience — the member-based structure means a multi-part archive can survive partial corruption without losing all data, critical for long-term storage. The clean, minimal format design is another strength: lzip has a simple specification that independent implementations can follow precisely, reducing the risk of compatibility issues over decades of archival. TAR.LZ is used by the GNU Project for distributing source releases and is supported by GNU tar with the --lzip flag, as well as by plzip for parallel compression on multi-core systems.
