How to Extract a Gz File. This wikiHow teaches you how to decompress and open a GZ folder, which is a type of compressed (ZIP) folder. You can do this using various programs on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android platforms. Rio would be very suitable for this - it uses the file extension of a file name to determine what kind of file it is, so it will work with a large variety of file types. I've also used unzip to list the file names within the zip file, so its not necessary to specify the file name(s) manually.

RPM originally stands for Red Hat Package Manager. Nnow, RPM is a package management system. The name RPM variously refers to the .rpm file format, files in this format, software packaged in such files, and the package manager itself. RPM was intended primarily for Linux distributions; the file format is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base. RPM is distributed under the terms of the GPL.

Even though it was created for use in Red Hat Linux, RPM is now used in many GNU/Linux distributions. It has also been ported to some other operating systems, such as Novell NetWare (as of version 6.5 SP3) and IBM's AIX (as of version 4).

An RPM package can contain an arbitrary set of files. The larger part of RPM files encountered are 'binary RPMs' (or BRPMs) containing the compiled version of some software. RPM files however may also contain the source code, then called 'source RPMs' (or SRPMs) used to produce a package. SRPMs have an appropriate tag in the file header that distinguishes them from normal (B)RPMs, causing them to be extracted to /usr/src on installation. SRPMs also customarily carry the file extension '.src.rpm' (.spm on file systems limited to 3 extension characters, i.e. old DOS FAT).

The format is binary and consists of four sections:

  • The lead, which identifies the file as an RPM file and contains some obsolete headers.
  • The signature, which can be used to ensure integrity and/or authenticity.
  • The header, which contains metadata including package name, version, architecture, file list, etc.
  • A file archive (the payload), which usually is in cpio format, compressed with gzip. The rpm2cpio tool enables retrieval of the cpio file without needing to install the RPM package.
    • More recent versions of RPM can also use bzip2, lzip, lzma, or xz compression.
    • RPM 5.0 format supports using xar for archiving.

WIM (Windows Imaging Format) is WIM is a file-based disk image format that was introduced in Windows Vista. WIM files are compressed packages that contain a number of related files. The format of a WIM file is optimized for maximum compression with LZX, for fast compression with XPRESS, or uncompressed.

A WIM file structure contains up to six types of resources: header, file resource, metadata resource, lookup table, XML data, and integrity table. The following illustration shows the general layout of a WIM file that contains two images.

Like other disk image formats, a WIM file contains a set of files and associated filesystem metadata. However, unlike sector-based formats (such as ISO or VHD), WIM is file-based: The fundamental unit of information in a WIM is a file.

WIM files can contain multiple disk images, which are referenced either by their numerical index or by their unique name. Due to the use of single-instance storage, the more each successive disk image has in common with previous images added to the WIM file, the less new data will be added. A WIM can also be split (spanned) into multiple parts, which have the .swm extension.

WIM images can be made bootable. Windows boot loader supports booting Windows from within a WIM file. Windows Setup DVD in Windows Vista and later use such WIM files. In this case, BOOT.WIM contains a bootable version of Windows PE from which the installation is performed. Other setup files are held in the INSTALL.WIM.
