|

24 | <para>bzegrep, bzfgrep, and bzgrep invoke either egrep, fgrep, or grep

|

28 | <para>bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
|

29 | compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
|
---|
30 | considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based
|
---|
31 | compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical
|
---|
32 | compressors.</para></sect4>
