bzip2 is a free, multi-threaded compression utility with support for bzip2
|
|
compressed file format.
|
|
|
|
lbzip2 can process standard bz2 files in parallel. It uses POSIX threading
|
|
model (pthreads), which allows it to take full advantage of the symmetric
|
|
multiprocessing (SMP) systems. It has been proven to scale linearly, even
|
|
to over one hundred processor cores.
|
|
|
|
lbzip2 is fully compatible with bzip2 -- both at file format and command
|
|
line level. Files created by lbzip2 can be decompressed by all versions
|
|
of bzip2 and other software supporting bz2 format. lbzip2 can decompress
|
|
any bz2 files in parallel. All bzip2 command-line options are also
|
|
accepted by lbzip2. This makes lbzip2 a drop-in replacement for bzip2.
