Trf: The bz2 command
Author: Andreas Kupries,,,

# Trf commands: bz2

[ Misc commands | Sitemap ]

Options understood by ``bz2''are:

-mode | Allowed arguments are ``compress'', ``decompress'' and all unique abbreviations of these. For immediate usage it specifies the operation to use. For attached transformations it specifies the operation to use for writing. Reading will automatically use the reverse operation.
-level | Possible arguments are ``default'' and integer numbers in the range 1 ... 9. It specifies the used compression level.

This transformation uses the freely available `bzlib` compression library to accomplish its task.

The official homepage can be found at http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/index.html. A downloading page is available there too.

trf requires a shared library version of `bzlib`.
