Questions about this tool family
What is the difference between compression and archiving?
Compression reduces data size. An archive groups files and metadata. Many archive formats also apply compression.
Can decompression be unsafe?
Yes. Untrusted archives can contain harmful files, misleading paths, or very large expanded data. Inspect names and limits first.
