Wat het doet

xz usually makes the smallest files of the classic tools, but it uses more time and memory. It is used for kernel modules, software packages and long-term archives.

xz FILE makes FILE.xz and removes the original. With tar, use -J (tar -cJf).

Zo schrijf je het

xz [OPTION]... [FILE]...
unxz [OPTION]... [FILE]...
xzcat [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Opties 21

Meest gebruikt

-z, --compress
Compress (the default).
-d, --decompress, --uncompress
Decompress (same as unxz).
-k, --keep
Keep the original file.
-c, --stdout
Write to the screen (stdout), keep the files.
-l, --list
Show information about .xz files (sizes, ratio, check type).
-t, --test
Test the file.
-f, --force
Overwrite existing files and compress links.
-0 ... -9
Compression level. Default 6. Higher = smaller and slower.
-e, --extreme
Try harder for a smaller file (more CPU time).
-T, --threads=n
Use N threads. 0 = as many as there are CPU cores.
-q, --quiet
Hide warnings (twice: hide errors too).
-v, --verbose
Show progress (twice: more).
-F, --format=fmt
File format: auto, xz, lzma, raw.
-C, --check=check
Integrity check type: none, crc32, crc64, sha256.
--memlimit=limit
Limit the memory use.
-S, --suffix=suf
Use another ending than .xz.
--single-stream
Decompress only the first stream.
--no-sparse
Do not make sparse files on decompress.
--block-size=size
Start a new block every SIZE bytes (for multi-thread).
-h, --help
Show help (-H for the long help with advanced options).
-V, --version
Show the version.

  1. 1Compress a file

    xz big.sql

    You get big.sql.xz.

  2. 2Decompress

    unxz big.sql.xz

    Same as xz -d big.sql.xz.

  3. 3Compress fast with all CPU cores

    xz -T0 -k vm-disk.raw

    -T0 uses all cores; -k keeps the original.

  4. 4Make a tar.xz archive

    tar -cJf logs-2026.tar.xz /var/log/archive

    Good for archives you keep for a long time.

  5. 5Read without unpacking

    xzcat app.log.xz | grep -c ERROR

    Count errors in a compressed log.

  6. 6Show details of a compressed file

    xz -l app.log.xz

    Compressed size, uncompressed size, ratio and check type.

  7. 7Best possible compression

    xz -9e release-notes.tar

    Very slow but very small. Good for files you send many times.

  8. 8Check a downloaded file

    xz -t image.xz && echo OK

    Finds broken downloads.

  9. 9Look at a compressed kernel module

    ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ | head

    RHEL ships kernel modules as .ko.xz files.

  10. 10Unpack a cloud image

    xz -dk rhel-10-cloud.raw.xz

    Many cloud and SD-card images are delivered as .xz.

  11. 11Limit memory on a small machine

    xz --memlimit=256MiB -d huge.xz

    xz stops with an error instead of using too much RAM.

Let op

  • xz removes the original by default; use -k.
  • High levels (-9, -e) need a lot of RAM and time.

Tips om te onthouden

  • Size: xz < bzip2 < gzip. Speed: gzip > bzip2 > xz. In tar: z = gzip, j = bzip2, J = xz.
