0019 <para>The bzip2 KIO worker is not directly usable, and is intended for use
0020 as a filter.  For example, the tar KIO worker can filter a file through
0021 the bzip2 KIO worker, in order to display the contents of a <literal
0022 role="extension">tar.bz2</literal> file directly in a &konqueror;
0023 window.</para>
0024
0025 <para>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal
0026 role="extension">.bz2</literal> in &konqueror;, this KIO worker is used to
0027 uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.</para>

0030 you can find documentation on using KIO workers at <ulink

0036 <para><command>bzip</command> is the ancestor of bzip2.  It is rarely
0037 used today, having been replaced with bzip2, which offers much better
0038 compression.</para>
