NAME
libbz2 - library for block-sorting data compression
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ...] file -lbz2 [ library ... ]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <bzlib.h>
DESCRIPTION
Interfaces in this library provide the ability to compress
(and decompress) files using the Burrows-Wheeler blocksort-
ing text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. It is
provided along with the bzip2(1) utility. See bzip2(1) for
more information.
The source distribution of bzip2 contains a description of
how to use this library in HTML form.
For additional information on shared object interfaces, see
intro(3).

The ideas embodied in bzip2 are due to (at least) the fol-
lowing people: Michael Burrows and David Wheeler (for the
block sorting transformation), David Wheeler (again, for
the Huffman coder), Peter Fenwick (for the structured cod-
ing model in the original bzip, and many refinements), and
Alistair Moffat, Radford Neal and Ian Witten (for the
arithmetic coder in the original bzip). I am much
indebted for their help, support and advice. See the man-
ual in the source distribution for pointers to sources of
documentation. Christian von Roques encouraged me to look
for faster sorting algorithms, so as to speed up compres-
sion. Bela Lubkin encouraged me to improve the worst-case
compression performance. Many people sent patches, helped
with portability problems, lent machines, gave advice and
were generally helpful.
