A TGZ file is a compressed archive file commonly used on Unix and Linux systems. It combines TAR packaging with GZIP compression to store multiple files and folders efficiently. The format is popular for software distribution and backups because it preserves file system information.
Internally, a TGZ file first uses TAR (Tape Archive) to group files into a single archive without compression. Then, GZIP compression reduces the archive size by encoding repetitive data more efficiently. This two-step process allows for both file consolidation and size reduction, supporting metadata like permissions and timestamps.
TGZ files are often used to bundle source code or installation packages in open-source projects. The '.tgz' extension is a shorthand for '.tar.gz', making it easier to type and recognize. This format dates back to the early days of Unix, showcasing the long history of file compression techniques.
