programs.

<sect2><title>Description</title>
<sect3><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>
</sect3>
<sect3><title>Bunzip2</title>
<para>
Bunzip2 decompresses files that are compressed with bzip2.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3><title>bzcat</title>
<para>
bzcat (or bzip2 -dc) decompresses all specified files to the standard output.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3><title>bzip2recover</title>
<para>
bzip2recover recovers data from damaged bzip2 files.
