<para>Xz is a compression program</para>

<para>The xz KIO worker is not directly usable, and is intended for use
as a filter. For example, the tar KIO worker can filter a file through
the xz KIO worker, in order to display the contents of a <literal
role="extension">tar.lzma</literal> or <literal role="extension">tar.xz</literal>
file directly in a &konqueror; window.</para>

<para>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal
role="extension">.lzma</literal> or <literal role="extension">tar.xz</literal>
in &konqueror;, this KIO worker is used to
uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.</para>

<para>If you are a developer, and would like to use the xz filter,
you can find documentation on using KIO workers at <ulink
url="http://techbase.kde.org">http://techbase.kde.org</ulink></para>

<para>See the manual: <ulink url="man:/xz">xz</ulink>.
