• The bzip2 command is a robust tool for compressing and decompressing files using the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm in Unix and Linux systems.
  • ADVANCED OPTIONS bzip2 features. BZ2 format is meant only for providing single-file compression, lacks archiving and encryption features by design.
  • The program uses .bz2 as its filename extension, application/x-bzip2 as the media type on internet and public.archive.bzip2 as the uniform type identifier.
  • In this tutorial, we will look at how to compress and decompress .bz2 files using the bzip2 tool in Linux.
  • Bzip2 mini-HOWTO
    • 2. Getting bzip2
    • 3. Using bzip2 by itself
  • Description. bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. ... The bzip2 program itself is a client of the library.
  • The bzip2 test suite is maintained in a seperate repository and contains test files from various bzip2 implementations to check compatibility.
  • bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques...
  • The block is entirely self-contained, with input and output buffers remaining of the same size—in bzip2, the operating limit for this stage is 900 kB.
  • How to build -- unix. Type 'make'. This builds the library libbz2.a and then the programs bzip2 and bzip2recover. Six self-tests are run.
