Description

These are tools and libraries for compressing, decompressing, printing, and searching bzip3 files. bzip3 features higher compression ratios and better performance than bzip2 thanks to an order-0 context mixing entropy coder, a fast Burrows-Wheeler transform code making use of suffix arrays and a run-length encoding with Lempel-Ziv prediction pass based on LZ77-style string matching and PPM-style context modeling.
