# bzip2
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of GNU Gzip, but they are not identical.
