BZIP2

BZIP2 is a software tool that compresses files to reduce their size, making storage and transfer more efficient. It uses advanced algorithms to identify patterns in data, replacing repeated sequences with shorter codes. This process retains all original information, allowing the file to be fully restored when needed. BZIP2 is especially effective for large files, offering better compression ratios than simpler methods, and is commonly used for compressing logs, documents, and data backups to save space and improve data handling.
