What is a Z file?

The Z extension refers to a compressed archive created in the Unix-based devices. It follows a simple compression technique and stores data in binary format. The primary task of it is to store or pack files to save disk space. The GZ extension created by the GNUzip compression technique has made the Z format redundant, and not many users use it in the present day.
