XZ is a unique package that provides a general-purpose data compression library and command line tools. XZ allows you to build .tbz and .pkg packages.

The native file format is the .xz format, but also the legacy .lzma format is supported. The .xz format supports multiple compression algorithms, which are called "filters" in context of XZ Utils.

The primary filter is currently LZMA2. With typical files, XZ Utils create about 30 % smaller files than gzip.

To ease adapting support for the .xz format into existing applications and scripts, the API of liblzma is somewhat similar to the API of the popular zlib library. For the same reason, the command line tool xz has similar command line syntax than that of gzip.

What's new in XZ 5.0.4:

  • Fix the possibility of an incorrect LZMA_BUF_ERROR when a BCJ filter is used and the application only provides exactly as much output space as is the uncompressed size of the file.
  • Fix a bug in doc/examples_old/xz_pipe_decompress.c. It didn't check if the last call to lzma_code() really returned LZMA_STREAM_END, which made the program think that truncated files are valid.
  • New example programs in doc/examples (old programs are now in doc/examples_old). These have more comments and more detailed error handling.
  • Fix "xz -lvv foo.xz". It could crash on some corrupted files.
