Tarlz is a small and simple implementation of the tar archiver. By default tarlz creates, lists and extracts archives in the ustar format compressed with lzip on a per file basis. Tarlz can append files to the end of such compressed archives. Each tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the end-of-file blocks. This same method works for any tar format (gnu, ustar, posix) and is fully backward compatible with standard tar tools, which treat the resulting multimember tar.lz archive like any other tar.lz archive. Tarlz can create tar archives with four levels of compression granularity; per file, per directory, appendable solid, and solid.
