<title>Contents</title>
<para>The Bzip2 packages contains the bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat and bzip2recover
programs.</para>
</sect2>
<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.</para>
