		bzip2 is a freely available, patent free (see below), high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.

<h2>Why would I want to use it?</h2>

<ul>

  <li>Because it compresses well.  So it packs more stuff into
  your overfull disk drives, distribution CDs, 
  backup tapes, USB sticks, etc.  And/or it reduces your
  customer download times, long distance network
  traffic, etc.
  It's not the world's fastest compressor, but it's still fast
  enough to be very useful.</li>

  <li>Because it's open-source (BSD-style license), and, as far
  as I know, patent-free.  (To the best of my knowledge. I can't
  afford to do a full patent search, so I can't guarantee
  this. Caveat emptor). So you can use it for whatever you
  like. Naturally, the source code is part of the
  distribution.</li>

  <li>Because it supports (limited) recovery from media
  errors. If you are trying to restore compressed data from a
  backup tape or disk, and that data contains some errors, bzip2
  may still be able to decompress those parts of the file which
  are undamaged.</li>

  <li>Because you already know how to use it. bzip2's command
  line flags are similar to those of GNU Gzip, so if you know how
  to use gzip, you know how to use bzip2.</li>

  <li>Because it's very portable. It should run on any 32 or
  64-bit machine with an ANSI C compiler. The distribution should
  compile unmodified on Unix and Win32 systems.  Earlier versions
  have been ported with little difficulty to a large number of
  weird and wonderful systems.</li>

</ul>


<p>The code is organised as a library with a programming
interface.  The bzip2 program itself is a client of the library.
You can use the library in your own programs, to directly read
and write .bz2 files, or even just to compress data in memory
using the bzip2 algorithms.</p>
