Technical details🔵 TAR file means the collection of files into one, and this compression is usually not by default. Applications like gzip can be used to compress the entire TAR file. Therefore, the file extension is changed from .tar to .tar.gz if the compression is applied. However, the suffix would be based on the type of compression used. TAR files contain approximately 512 bytes and a file header.

The XZ format is based on a container format that includes the compressed data and metadata about the compression, such as the dictionary size, compression level, and checksums. The container format allows for easy streaming and seeking of compressed data, making it suitable for use in various applications.
