<para><command>bunzip2</command> decompresses bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>bzcat</command> decompresses to standard output.</para>
<para><command>bzcmp</command> runs cmp on bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>bzdiff</command> runs diff on bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>bzgrep</command> and friends run grep on bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>bzip2</command> compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler
block sorting text compression algorithm with Huffman coding. The compression
rate is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional
compressors using LZ77/LZ78, like <command>gzip</command>.</para>
<para><command>bzip2recover</command> tries to recover data from damaged
bzip2 files.</para>
<para><command>bzless</command> runs less on bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>bzmore</command> runs more on bzipped files.</para>
<para><command>libbz2*</command> is the library implementing lossless,
block-sorting data compression, using the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm.</para>
