(quoting from the website:)

Tarlz is a small and simple implementation of the tar archiver. By
default tarlz creates, lists and extracts archives in the 'ustar' format
compressed with lzip on a per file basis. Tarlz can append files to the
end of such compressed archives.

Each tar member is compressed in its own lzip member, as well as the
end-of-file blocks. This same method works for any tar format (gnu,
ustar, posix) and is fully backward compatible with standard tar tools
like GNU tar, which treat the resulting multimember tar.lz archive like
any other tar.lz archive.

Tarlz can create tar archives with four levels of compression
granularity; per file, per directory, appendable solid, and solid.
