What is a PKG file?

A PKG file is a text file required to build an .SIS installer file, which is used to install applications on devices running the Symbian operating system (OS). It contains installation information in plain text that defines how to build the SIS installer file. PKG files typically include information about the languages supported by the application, vendor name, software dependencies, application files to copy, and details for digitally signing the file to verify its contents.

You will most likely only encounter Symbian PKG files if you are developing an application for the Symbian OS. The PKG file must be defined by Symbian developers in order to build a single distributable SIS installer file. When the application is ready to be built, developers typically use the 'makesis' command, which is part of the CreateSIS utility. Developers may also use the Sisar or Easy SIS Creator applications, which provide a GUI for building SIS files.

Since PKG files are saved in plain text, they can be opened and modified with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit, which are bundled with Windows and macOS. If you cannot open the PKG file with a text editor, you most likely have a different type of PKG file. This is due to various file types using the .pkg file extension, which includes the macOS Installer Package and PlayStation Store Download Package formats.

While SIS files are used to install applications, you can unpack the files if you want to view their contents. You can use the free UnSIS tool to unpack SIS files.

NOTE: In 2010, the Symbian Foundation ended and the Symbian OS was discontinued. Nokia eventually stopped accepting software from developers in 2014.

Pkg File Opener

xar (short for eXtensible ARchive) is an open source file archiver and the archiver¡¯s file format. It was created within the OpenDarwin project and is used in Mac OS X 10.5 for software installation routines, as well as browser extensions in Safari 5.0. Xar replaced the use of gzipped pax files.

Pkg File Opener For Windows

pkg is just .xar archives with a different extension and a specified file hierarchy. pkg is an OS X Installer file. This file format is used by Apple Inc. on its Macintosh line of computers and on the iPhone. It is also used by Sony PlayStation 3 on downloadable content over PlayStation Network. The contents of a PKG file can be installed using the Apple Installer application.

The XAR project aims to provide an easily extensible archive format. Important design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of contents for random access to archived files, storing the toc at the beginning of the archive to allow for efficient handling of streamed archives, the ability to handle files of arbitrarily large sizes, the ability to choose independent encodings for individual files in the archive, the ability to store checksums for individual files in both compressed and uncompressed form, and the ability to query the table of content's rich meta-data.

The XAR file format has three main regions, The Header, The Table of Contents, and The Heap. The header is a small binary data structure that identifies the file format (file magic). The table of contents is parsed as an XML document. The heap occupies the remainder of the file. Files' data are stored in the heap.

Files in xar are individually compressed. This allows for quick extraction of individual files without the extra disk space requirements and CPU usage of extracting the entire archive, as compared to a compressed tar archive. This makes xar useful for quick restores of accidentally deleted or overwritten files, from a backup archive. Additionally, this means xar can use different compression methods for each file in the archive. For instance, it might not be a good idea to try to try to compress an already compressed file, but a large file might benefit greatly from using bzip2, whereas a small text file would be better served to use gzip.
