Short Descriptions

bunzip2 Decompresses bzipped files

bzcat Decompresses to standard output

bzcmp Runs cmp on bzipped files

bzdiff Runs diff on bzipped files

bzegrep Runs egrep on bzipped files

bzfgrep Runs fgrep on bzipped files

bzgrep Runs grep on bzipped files

bzip2 Compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm with Huffman coding; the compression rate is better than that achieved by more conventional compressors using “Lempel-Ziv” algorithms, like gzip

bzip2recover Tries to recover data from damaged bzipped files

bzless Runs less on bzipped files

bzmore Runs more on bzipped files

libbz2 The library implementing lossless, block-sorting data compression, using the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm
