Definition: XZ Utils


A data compression program in the Unix and Linux world. Developed by Lasse Collin and Igor Pavlov, XZ Utils was released in 2009 as "LZMA Utils." Because XZ can only compress a single file, it is similar to gzip compression and requires a group of files to be archived into one before compressing. See gzip and tar.
