File Format
Name Archiving
Ontology

(Lossless, for generic data + file archives)

Contents

Archiving only

(many files => 1 file, no compression attempted)

Compression + archiving

(Multiple files => 1 file, makes it smaller. See Compression for formats that compress single files/streams)

Self-extracting archives

(in addition, some of the other archivers are able to produce executable files for some platform which include the archived data and a program to extract them, and generally have the file extension normal for executables, such as .exe for DOS/Windows)

  • SDA (Self Dissolving Archive)
  • SEA (Self-Extracting Archive]
  • SFX (Self-Extracting Archive)
