    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.
