Sample code to convert from TAR to TAR.Z
Converting TAR archives to TAR.Z format is a useful process that allows users to transition from one popular compression format to another. TAR archives, known for their efficient compression and widespread usage, can be conveniently transformed into TAR.Z archives using tools like those provided by Aspose.Zip for .NET.
During the conversion, the original file structure and data are carefully preserved, ensuring that the content remains intact and accessible. TAR.Z archives, on the other hand, are favored for their open-source nature, strong compression capabilities, and support for various compression algorithms.
Once the conversion to TAR.Z is completed, the resulting archive becomes compatible with a wide range of platforms and can be easily shared and accessed. This conversion simplifies the transition between compression formats, maximizes compression efficiency, and ensures data remains secure and adaptable in the TAR.Z format. It proves valuable for users who need to switch to or distribute data in the TAR.Z format while retaining data integrity.
Code from TAR to various formats: The TAR archive typically contains multiple records or files. To convert this archive into formats such as GZ (Gzip), LZ (Lzip), Z (Unix Compress), XZ (XZ Utils), and BZ2 (Bzip2), a common approach is to first package the contents into a TAR (Tape Archive) format. This process is reminiscent of the typical practice in Linux environments.
In this conversion process, each file or record within the TAR archive is first bundled together into a single TAR archive. This TAR archive serves as a container for the individual files, preserving their original structure and metadata. Once the data is encapsulated within the TAR archive, it becomes easier to apply different compression algorithms and formats.
The choice of TAR as an intermediate format is due to its simplicity and wide compatibility across various Unix-like operating systems. It provides a straightforward way to group files together without applying compression directly. After the TAR packaging is complete, subsequent compression operations can be applied to the TAR archive to generate the desired output formats, such as GZ, LZ, Z, XZ, or BZ2.
Convert from TAR to TAR.Z - C#:
using (XzArchive archive = new XzArchive())
{
archive.SetSource("source1.tar");
archive.Save("output.tar.z");
}
