 Description
 
 Tarlz is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) combined implementation of
-the tar archiver and the lzip compressor. Tarlz creates, lists, and extracts
-archives in a simplified and safer variant of the POSIX pax format
-compressed with lzip, keeping the alignment between tar members and lzip
-members. 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. Tarlz can append files to the end of such compressed
-archives.
