NAME
      bzip2, bunzip2 - a block-sorting file compressor, v1.0.4
      bzcat - decompresses files to stdout
      bzip2recover - recovers data from damaged bzip2 files

SYNOPSIS
      bzip2 [ -cdfkqstvzVL123456789 ] [ filenames ...  ]
      bunzip2 [ -fkvsVL ] [ filenames ...  ]
      bzcat [ -s ] [ filenames ...  ]
      bzip2recover filename

DESCRIPTION
      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  fam-
      ily of statistical compressors.

      The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of GNU gzip, but they are not identical.

      bzip2  expects  a list of file names to accompany the command-line flags.  Each file is replaced by a compressed version of itself, with
      the name "original_name.bz2".  Each compressed file has the same modification date, permissions, and, when possible,  ownership  as  the
      corresponding  original,  so  that these properties can be correctly restored at decompression time.  File name handling is naive in the
      sense that there is no mechanism for preserving original file names, permissions, ownerships or dates in filesystems  which  lack  these
      concepts, or have serious file name length restrictions, such as MS-DOS.

      bzip2 and bunzip2 will by default not overwrite existing files.  If you want this to happen, specify the -f flag.

      If no file names are specified, bzip2 compresses from standard input to standard output.  In this case, bzip2 will decline to write com-
      pressed output to a terminal, as this would be entirely incomprehensible and therefore pointless.

      bunzip2 (or bzip2 -d) decompresses all specified files.  Files which were not created by bzip2 will be detected and ignored, and a warn-
      ing issued.  bzip2 attempts to guess the filename for the decompressed file from that of the compressed file as follows:

             filename.bz2    becomes   filename
             filename.bz     becomes   filename
             filename.tbz2   becomes   filename.tar
             filename.tbz    becomes   filename.tar
             anyothername    becomes   anyothername.out

      If  the  file  does not end in one of the recognised endings, .bz2, .bz, .tbz2 or .tbz, bzip2 complains that it cannot guess the name of
      the original file, and uses the original name with .out appended.

      As with compression, supplying no filenames causes decompression from standard input to standard output.

      bunzip2 will correctly decompress a file which is the concatenation of two or more compressed files.  The result is the concatenation of
      the corresponding uncompressed files.  Integrity testing (-t) of concatenated compressed files is also supported.
You  can  also  compress  or decompress files to the standard output by giving the -c flag.  Multiple files may be compressed and decom-
      pressed like this.  The resulting outputs are fed sequentially to stdout.  Compression of multiple files  in  this  manner  generates  a
      stream  containing multiple compressed file representations.  Such a stream can be decompressed correctly only by bzip2 version 0.9.0 or
      later.  Earlier versions of bzip2 will stop after decompressing the first file in the stream.

      bzcat (or bzip2 -dc) decompresses all specified files to the standard output.

      bzip2 will read arguments from the environment variables BZIP2 and BZIP, in that order, and will process them before any arguments  read
      from the command line.  This gives a convenient way to supply default arguments.

      Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is slightly larger than the original.  Files of less than about one hundred
      bytes tend to get larger, since the compression mechanism has a constant overhead in the region of 50 bytes.  Random data (including the
      output of most file compressors) is coded at about 8.05 bits per byte, giving an expansion of around 0.5%.

      As  a  self-check  for  your protection, bzip2 uses 32-bit CRCs to make sure that the decompressed version of a file is identical to the
      original.  This guards against corruption of the compressed data, and against undetected bugs in bzip2 (hopefully very  unlikely).   The
      chances of data corruption going undetected is microscopic, about one chance in four billion for each file processed.  Be aware, though,
      that the check occurs upon decompression, so it can only tell you that something is wrong.  It  can't  help  you  recover  the  original
      uncompressed data.  You can use bzip2recover to try to recover data from damaged files.

      Return  values:  0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, &c), 2 to indicate a cor-
      rupt compressed file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) which caused bzip2 to panic.

OPTIONS
      -c --stdout
             Compress or decompress to standard output.

      -d --decompress
             Force decompression.  bzip2, bunzip2 and bzcat are really the same program, and the decision about what actions to take  is  done
             on the basis of which name is used.  This flag overrides that mechanism, and forces bzip2 to decompress.

      -z --compress
             The complement to -d: forces compression, regardless of the invocation name.

      -t --test
             Check  integrity of the specified file(s), but don't decompress them.  This really performs a trial decompression and throws away
             the result.

      -f --force
             Force overwrite of output files.  Normally, bzip2 will not overwrite existing output files.  Also  forces  bzip2  to  break  hard
             links to files, which it otherwise wouldn't do.

             bzip2  normally  declines  to decompress files which don't have the correct magic header bytes.  If forced (-f), however, it will
             pass such files through unmodified.  This is how GNU gzip behaves.

      -k --keep
Keep (don't delete) input files during compression or decompression.

      -s --small
             Reduce memory usage, for compression, decompression and testing.  Files are decompressed and tested using  a  modified  algorithm
             which  only  requires 2.5 bytes per block byte.  This means any file can be decompressed in 2300k of memory, albeit at about half
             the normal speed.

             During compression, -s selects a block size of 200k, which limits memory use to around the same figure, at the  expense  of  your
             compression  ratio.  In short, if your machine is low on memory (8 megabytes or less), use -s for everything.  See MEMORY MANAGE-
             MENT below.

      -q --quiet
             Suppress non-essential warning messages.  Messages pertaining to I/O errors and other critical events will not be suppressed.

      -v --verbose
             Verbose mode -- show the compression ratio for each file processed.  Further -v's increase the verbosity level, spewing out  lots
             of information which is primarily of interest for diagnostic purposes.

      -L --license -V --version
             Display the software version, license terms and conditions.

      -1 (or --fast) to -9 (or --best)
             Set  the  block size to 100 k, 200 k ..  900 k when compressing.  Has no effect when decompressing.  See MEMORY MANAGEMENT below.
             The --fast and --best aliases are primarily for GNU gzip compatibility.  In particular, --fast doesn't make things  significantly
             faster.  And --best merely selects the default behaviour.

      --     Treats all subsequent arguments as file names, even if they start with a dash.  This is so you can handle files with names begin-
             ning with a dash, for example: bzip2 -- -myfilename.

      --repetitive-fast --repetitive-best
             These flags are redundant in versions 0.9.5 and above.  They provided some coarse control over the behaviour of the sorting algo-
             rithm  in  earlier  versions,  which  was sometimes useful.  0.9.5 and above have an improved algorithm which renders these flags
             irrelevant.

MEMORY MANAGEMENT
      bzip2 compresses large files in blocks.  The block size affects both the compression ratio achieved, and the amount of memory needed for
      compression  and  decompression.  The flags -1 through -9 specify the block size to be 100,000 bytes through 900,000 bytes (the default)
      respectively.  At decompression time, the block size used for compression is read from the header of the compressed  file,  and  bunzip2
      then  allocates itself just enough memory to decompress the file.  Since block sizes are stored in compressed files, it follows that the
      flags -1 to -9 are irrelevant to and so ignored during decompression.

      Compression and decompression requirements, in bytes, can be estimated as:

             Compression:   400k + ( 8 x block size )

             Decompression: 100k + ( 4 x block size ), or
                            100k + ( 2.5 x block size )
Larger block sizes give rapidly diminishing marginal returns.  Most of the compression comes from the first two or three  hundred  k  of
      block  size, a fact worth bearing in mind when using bzip2 on small machines.  It is also important to appreciate that the decompression
      memory requirement is set at compression time by the choice of block size.

      For files compressed with the default 900k block size, bunzip2 will require about 3700 kbytes to decompress.  To  support  decompression
      of  any  file  on  a  4 megabyte machine, bunzip2 has an option to decompress using approximately half this amount of memory, about 2300
      kbytes.  Decompression speed is also halved, so you should use this option only where necessary.  The relevant flag is -s.

      In general, try and use the largest block size memory constraints allow, since that maximises the compression achieved.  Compression and
      decompression speed are virtually unaffected by block size.

      Another  significant  point  applies  to  files which fit in a single block -- that means most files you'd encounter using a large block
      size.  The amount of real memory touched is proportional to the size of the file, since the file is smaller than a block.  For  example,
      compressing  a file 20,000 bytes long with the flag -9 will cause the compressor to allocate around 7600k of memory, but only touch 400k
      + 20000 * 8 = 560 kbytes of it.  Similarly, the decompressor will allocate 3700k but only touch 100k + 20000 * 4 = 180 kbytes.

      Here is a table which summarises the maximum memory usage for different block sizes.  Also recorded is the total compressed size for  14
      files  of  the  Calgary  Text Compression Corpus totalling 3,141,622 bytes.  This column gives some feel for how compression varies with
      block size.  These figures tend to understate the advantage of larger block sizes for larger files, since the  Corpus  is  dominated  by
      smaller files.

RECOVERING DATA FROM DAMAGED FILES
      bzip2 compresses files in blocks, usually 900kbytes long.  Each block is handled independently.  If a media or transmission error causes
      a multi-block .bz2 file to become damaged, it may be possible to recover data from the undamaged blocks in the file.

      The compressed representation of each block is delimited by a 48-bit pattern, which makes it possible to find the block boundaries  with
      reasonable certainty.  Each block also carries its own 32-bit CRC, so damaged blocks can be distinguished from undamaged ones.

      bzip2recover  is  a simple program whose purpose is to search for blocks in .bz2 files, and write each block out into its own .bz2 file.
      You can then use bzip2 -t to test the integrity of the resulting files, and decompress those which are undamaged.

      bzip2recover takes a single argument, the name of the damaged file, and writes a number of files "rec00001file.bz2", "rec00002file.bz2",
      etc,  containing  the  extracted  blocks.  The  output  filenames  are  designed  so  that the use of wildcards in subsequent processing
      -- for example, "bzip2 -dc  rec*file.bz2 > recovered_data" -- processes the files in the correct order.
bzip2recover should be of most use dealing with large .bz2 files,  as  these will contain many blocks.  It is clearly futile to  use  it
      on damaged single-block  files,  since  a damaged  block  cannot  be recovered.  If you wish to minimise any potential data loss through
      media  or  transmission errors, you might consider compressing with a smaller block size.

PERFORMANCE NOTES
      The sorting phase of compression gathers together similar strings in the file.  Because of this, files  containing  very  long  runs  of
      repeated  symbols,  like  "aabaabaabaab ..."  (repeated several hundred times) may compress more slowly than normal.  Versions 0.9.5 and
      above fare much better than previous versions in this respect.  The ratio between worst-case and average-case compression time is in the
      region  of  10:1.   For  previous  versions, this figure was more like 100:1.  You can use the -vvvv option to monitor progress in great
      detail, if you want.

      Decompression speed is unaffected by these phenomena.

      bzip2 usually allocates several megabytes of memory to operate in, and then charges all over it in a fairly random fashion.  This  means
      that  performance,  both  for  compressing and decompressing, is largely determined by the speed at which your machine can service cache
      misses.  Because of this, small changes to the code to reduce the miss rate have been observed to give disproportionately large  perfor-
      mance improvements.  I imagine bzip2 will perform best on machines with very large caches.

CAVEATS
      I/O error messages are not as helpful as they could be.  bzip2 tries hard to detect I/O errors and exit cleanly, but the details of what
      the problem is sometimes seem rather misleading.

      This manual page pertains to version 1.0.4 of bzip2.  Compressed data created by this version is entirely forwards and backwards compat-
      ible  with the previous public releases, versions 0.1pl2, 0.9.0, 0.9.5, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3, but with the following exception:
      0.9.0 and above can correctly decompress multiple concatenated compressed files.  0.1pl2 cannot do this; it will stop after  decompress-
      ing just the first file in the stream.

      bzip2recover  versions prior to 1.0.2 used 32-bit integers to represent bit positions in compressed files, so they could not handle com-
      pressed files more than 512 megabytes long.  Versions 1.0.2 and above use 64-bit ints on some platforms which  support  them  (GNU  sup-
      ported  targets, and Windows).  To establish whether or not bzip2recover was built with such a limitation, run it without arguments.  In
      any event you can build yourself an unlimited version if you can recompile it with MaybeUInt64 set to be an unsigned 64-bit integer.

      The ideas embodied in bzip2 are due to (at least) the following people: Michael Burrows and David Wheeler (for the block sorting  trans-
      formation),  David Wheeler (again, for the Huffman coder), Peter Fenwick (for the structured coding model in the original bzip, and many
      refinements), and Alistair Moffat, Radford Neal and Ian Witten (for the arithmetic coder in the original bzip).  I am much indebted  for
      their  help,  support  and  advice.   See the manual in the source distribution for pointers to sources of documentation.  Christian von
      Roques encouraged me to look for faster sorting algorithms, so as to speed up compression.  Bela Lubkin encouraged  me  to  improve  the
      worst-case  compression  performance.   Donna  Robinson  XMLised the documentation.  The bz* scripts are derived from those of GNU gzip.
      Many people sent patches, helped with portability problems, lent machines, gave advice and were generally helpful.
