About the XBM format
XBM — X Windows Bitmap
XBM is a monochrome (black and white) bitmap format used in the X Window System. Like XPM, it is stored as ASCII C source code, making it trivially embeddable in applications. It was the original cursor and icon format for X11.
Common uses
- X11 cursor and icon definitions
- Embedding monochrome images in C programs
- Legacy Unix application graphics
- Simple black-and-white image storage
About the GZ format
GZ — Gzip Compressed File
GZ is a single-file compression format based on the DEFLATE algorithm, standardized in RFC 1952. Unlike ZIP or TAR, gzip compresses only a single file. It is ubiquitous on UNIX/Linux systems and is used heavily in HTTP content encoding (gzip compression for web pages), log compression, and as the compression layer in TGZ archives.
Common uses
- Compressing individual files on Linux/macOS
- HTTP content encoding for faster web page delivery
- Log file compression on servers
- Single-file distribution with good compression
