Summary: A file compression utility
Description:
bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor. bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors (such as gzip), and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors. bzip2 is by far not the fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed and compression capability. The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of GNU Gzip, but they are not identical.
