txz
What is a .txz file?
application/x-xz
TXZ is a shorthand extension for a TAR archive compressed with xz (LZMA2), equivalent to .tar.xz. The tar step bundles files, then xz compresses the stream at a high ratio with integrity checking. It is common for Linux packages and large software releases.
How to use a .txz file
Use an example TXZ to test the decompress-then-untar pipeline with xz, and tooling that recognizes the abbreviated .txz extension.
