 Description: archiver with multimember lzip compression
- Tarlz is an alternative implementation of the tar archiver. It creates, lists
- and extracts archives in the 'ustar' format compressed with lzip on a per file
- basis. Tarlz can append files to the end of such compressed archives.
+ Tarlz is a combined implementation of the tar archiver and the lzip compressor.
  .
- Each tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the
- end-of-file blocks. This method works for any tar format and is fully backward
- compatible with standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat the resulting
- multimember tar.lz archive like any other tar.lz archive.
+ By default it creates, lists and extracts archives with lzip on a per file
+ basis. Each tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the
+ end-of-file blocks. This method adds an indexed lzip layer on top of the tar
+ archive, making it possible to decode the archive safely in parallel.
+ The resulting multimember tar.lz archive is fully backward compatible with
+ standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat it like any other tar.lz archive.
