Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-12-06 21:04:21 MSK

Some things are distributed in compressed ".lz" files; for example, look at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddrescue/ : http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.9.tar.lz .

.lz are treated by lzip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lzip : lzip is a program that implementats the LZMA compression algorithm. The project came about due to dissatisfaction with lzma-utils (another LZMA compressor), which produces files without an identification string (magic bytes) and without a checksum[1].
