3. Information about the pixz package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package pixz:
-----------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : pixz
Version : 1.0.7-1.15
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 51.3 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : pixz-1.0.7-1.15.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/vasi/pixz
Summary : Parallel, indexing version of XZ
Description :
The existing XZ Utils provide great compression in the .xz file format, but
they produce just one big block of compressed data. Pixz instead produces a
collection of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data
possible. This is especially useful for large tarballs.
Pixz supports automatic indexing and parallel compression and decompression
using all available CPU cores.
