## xz-5.2.4 – LZMA compression and decompression tools

## Description

    LZMA is a general-purpose compression algorithm designed by Igor
    Pavlov as part of 7-Zip. It provides high compression ratio while
    keeping the decompression speed fast.

    XZ Utils are an attempt to make LZMA compression easy to use on
    free (as in freedom) operating systems. This is achieved by providing
    tools and libraries which are similar to use than the equivalents
    of the most popular existing compression algorithms.
