libzip is a C library for reading, creating, and modifying zip
archives. Files can be added from data buffers, files, or compressed
data copied directly from other zip archives. Changes made without
closing the archive can be reverted. The API is documented by man
pages.
Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism.
It allows you to extract any archive file of the type .tar, .tar.gz, .gz
or .zip without having to worry how it does so, or use different
interfaces for each type by using either perl modules, or command line
tools on your system.
Archive::Tar provides an object oriented mechanism for handling tar files. It
provides class methods for quick and easy files handling while also allowing
for the creation of tar file objects for custom manipulation. If you have the
IO::Zlib module installed, Archive::Tar will also support compressed or gzipped
tar files.
An object of class Archive::Tar represents a .tar(.gz) archive full of files
and things.

This is a compression program optimised for large files. The larger the file
and the more memory you have, the better the compression advantage this will
provide, especially once the files are larger than 100MB. The advantage can
be chosen to be either size (much smaller than bzip2) or speed (much faster
than bzip2).
The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate,
read, and write Zip archive files.
Lua bindings to the ZLib compression library.
This is a reference C implementation of the LZFSE compressor introduced in the
Compression library with OS X 10.11 and iOS 9.
LZFSE is a Lempel-Ziv style data compression algorithm using Finite State
Entropy coding. It targets similar compression rates at higher compression and
decompression speed compared to deflate using zlib.
The lzlib compression library provides in-memory LZMA compression
and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the
uncompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library
is the lzip format.
This is a simple command line implementation of the LZMA compression algorithm
from the LZMA SDK. It uses a raw LZMA format instead of the xz or 7z container
formats, and produces compression ratios that are usually about 25-30% better
than bzip2, and decompression speeds that are about twice as fast. The
disadvantages are higher CPU and RAM requirements for compression.
This package includes a thin wrapper library of LZMA SDK.
