What is a lz file and how do I open a lz file?

The Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain compression algorithm, also known as the LZMA archiving format, implements compression specifications into a Lzip Compressed File. These Lzip compressed files are also integrated with encoding specifications used for the LZ compressed file format. This means these Lzip compressed files are stored in the LZ format and are generally classified as compressed files. These Lzip compressed files can be created using the Lzip software, which is a file compression and decompression program. Affixed with the .lz extension, a Lzip compressed file is implemented with better compression ratios than the standard compression output that the BZIP2 compression algorithm can provide. A 32-bit CRC checksum functionality is also integrated into these Lzip compressed files to validate the structural integrity of each file (in its uncompressed format) stored in the LZ file. There are versions of the Lzip file compression and decompression software developed for Linux platforms and Mac systems, while computers running on Microsoft Windows-based systems can also be installed with another version of the Lzip program to implement support into the system for creating and decompressing these LZ files.
