Archive files are good for saving some space and reducing the files needed for transfer.
|
|
Nowadays, there are a lot of archive formats.
|
|
Having worked with multiple of them, it can be confusing.
|
|
|
|
I'll just track them with this file.
|
|
|
|
Take note that not all files are stored with the file extension.
|
|
If it lacks the extension, inspect the file with the magic number.
|
|
You can do that with any file inspection tools like =file.1=.
|

|
| Format | File extension | Command to extract |

|
| Gunzip | =.gz=, =.gzip= | ~tar -zxf $FILE~, ~gunzip -c $FILE~ |
|
|
| ZIP | =.zip= | ~unzip $FILE~ |
|
|
| Zstd | =.zst= | ~tar --zstd xf $FILE~ |
|
|
| xz | =.xz= | ~tar --xz xf $FILE~ |
|
|
| ISO | =.iso= | |

|
There are also some libraries and applications for certain types of files.
