How do I open a LZ4 file in Windows?

1 Answer

  1. Move to the extracted file in terminal (cmder, windows cmd or xshell).
  2. Run the command lz4.exe C:\Users\rta\somefile.tar.lz4 C:\Users\rta\somefile.tar. (this command will automatically decompress the file with lz4 extension). Output is: C:\Users\rta : decoded 19962408960 bytes.

What is LZ4?

A file with . lz4 extension is a compressed archive file created with applications/utilities that support LZ4 compression. The LZ4 algorithm focuses on trade-off between speed and compression ratio. Compressed LZ4 archives can be created using the LZ4 command-line utility and can be decompressed using the same.

How do I read a LZ4 file?

How to open an LZ4 file. You can extract the files contained within an LZ4 archive using the lz4 command-line utility (cross-platform) or a variety of other LZ4 decompression utilities. All these utilities can be downloaded from LZ4’s website (lz4.github.io/lz4).

What is LZ4 package?

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.

How do I unzip a Lzma file?

How to Open an LZMA File. PeaZip and 7-Zip are two free programs for Windows and Linux that can decompress (extract) the contents of an LZMA file. The Unarchiver can open LZMA files on a Mac, and B1 Free Archiver is a similar LZMA file opener for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.

What does LZMA stand for?

Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm
The Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm (LZMA) is an algorithm used to perform lossless data compression. It has been under development since either 1996 or 1998 by Igor Pavlov and was first used in the 7z format of the 7-Zip archiver.

Is LZ4 lossless?

LZ4 is a lossless data compression algorithm that is focused on compression and decompression speed. It belongs to the LZ77 family of byte-oriented compression schemes.

How do I unzip LZMA?

You can use GNU tar version 1.20+ as follows to extract a .lzma tar ball:

  1. tar –lzma -xvf file.tar.lama.
  2. unlzma file.tar.lzma ls -l tar -xvf file.tar.
  3. lzma -d filr.tar.lzma ls -l tar -xvf file.tar.
  4. lzma -cd file.tar.lzma | tar xvf – ls.
  5. xz -d file.tar.lzma ls -l tar -xvf file.tar.
  6. xz -cd file.tar.lzma | tar xvf –
