| | Name: | libbz2 | | Title: | High-quality block-sorting file compressor library | | Category: | misc | | Description: | This Shared Object is part of the OS4 package. It was introduced with the July 2007 Update for A1 users.
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques, whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.
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. | | Link(s): | | | | | | Maintainer: | Hyperion Entertainment | | Created: | 20080229 14:45 by orgin | Updated: | 20080301 09:54 | |
