What is an XZM file?

XZM files mostly belong to Porteus by Porteus. XZM files are default package formats (modules) utilized by Porteus to install and uninstall different files within the operating system, where the XZM files are compressed similarly to ZIP compression and may contain various different files and directories. Porteus is a Linux operating system based on the Slackware Linux distribution, where it is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Main Usage: XZM files are primarily utilized by the Porteus operating system to store multiple different files that can be both installed and uninstalled onto and from the Porteus directory structure. Additionally, XZM files utilize the Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm (LZMA2) in order to compress its contents, subsequently allowing the user to quickly install and uninstall files within the Porteus operating system, thus reducing the space and clutter of the various different files within the system. However, the modules within the base folder of the operating system contain multiple packages in a singular module, so if one is looking to remove any package from the module, the file would first have to be decompressed similar to a ZIP file.
