Summary: Extremely powerful file compression utility
Description:

bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor.

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 (such as gzip), and approaches the performance
of the PPM family of statistical compressors.  bzip2 is by far not the
fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed
and compression capability.

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