To make them easier to transport or to save disk space, compressed archives combine multiple files into a single file. Encryption, file spanning, checksums, self-extraction, and self-installation are all options that can be found in archiving software. Zip is the most-broadly utilized design, utilized by the Windows working framework and all the more as of late by OSX too. Additionally, RAR is a widely used and adaptable format. Linux employs the tar and gz file formats, whereas Unix uses the tar file format.
