XZ Utils in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own xz-utils package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so XZ Utils should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

xz
unxz
xzcat
lzmainfo
xzcmp
xzdiff
xzegrep
xzfgrep
xzgrep
xzless
xzmore

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Archivers work with files in your Linux home folder and, once Device files is granted, in your Android folders too, such as a file in Android's Downloads. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About XZ Utils

From Debian's package description

XZ is the successor to the Lempel-Ziv/Markov-chain Algorithm compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
This package provides the command line tools for working with XZ compression, including xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and so on. They can also handle the older LZMA format, and if invoked via appropriate symlinks will emulate the behavior of the commands in the lzma package.
The XZ format is similar to the older LZMA format but includes some improvements for general use:
'file' magic for detecting XZ files;
crc64 data integrity check;
limited random-access reading support;
improved support for multithreading (not used in xz-utils);
support for flushing the encoder.

From Debian's description of the xz-utils package, under that package's license.
