bunzip2 decompresses bz2 files
:The Bunzip2 command is used in Unix-like operating systems to decompress files compressed with the bzip2 format (.bz2). Its functionality is similar to using bzip2 -d. with a higher compression ratio compared to formats like gzip.
Commonly used options include "-c" for output to standard output, and "-k" or "--keep" to preserve the original compressed file after decompression. By default, bunzip2 deletes the input file after successful decompression.
Example:
| $ bunzip2 * ← Decompresses all '.bz2' files in the current working directory |
