| Description | 🔵 The CAB (Cabinet) format is one of the standard data compression formats used in Windows operating systems. It is designed to pack files and folders into one archive, which saves disk space and speeds up data transfer. Files and folders in CAB format are compressed to reduce the archive size. This saves disk space and reduces data transfer time over the network. The CAB format consists of an archive header containing information about files, directories and properties, as well as the compressed data itself. The CAB format is widely used to create software installation packages on Windows operating systems. This allows you to combine all the necessary files into one archive and simplify the process of installing the program. CAB can be used to package content such as multimedia files, documents and other data for distribution over the Internet or other communication channels. The CAB format is an important element of the Windows operating system infrastructure, providing compact and efficient storage and transfer of data. |
