Things like lz4, gzip, bzip2, and xz simply compress a stream of bytes. You need another utility, like tar, to convert a set of directories and files into a stream of bytes. The output of tar is then fed to the compressor. That's why you see archives with names like tar.gz or tar.xz.

How to use tar with lz4?
