<sect4><title>bunzip2</title>
<para>bunzip2 decompresses files that are compressed with
bzip2.</para></sect4>
<sect4><title>bzcat</title>
<para>bzcat (or bzip2 -dc) decompresses all specified files to the standard
output.</para></sect4>
<sect4><title>bzip2</title>
<para>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, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical
compressors.</para></sect4>
<sect4><title>bzip2recover</title>
<para>bzip2recover recovers data from damaged bzip2 files.</para></sect4>
<sect4><title>bzless</title>
<para>bzless is a filter which allows examination of compressed
or plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy
terminal, like less.</para></sect4>

<para>bzmore is a filter which allows examination of compressed
or plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy
terminal, like more.</para></sect4>
