What is a tar.bz2 file?
A TAR.BZ2 file is a compressed archive format that combines the TAR archive format with BZIP2 compression. The TAR format bundles multiple files and directories into a single archive, while BZIP2 compresses this archive to reduce its size. This format is commonly used in Unix and Linux environments, particularly where high compression is needed without sacrificing too much decompression speed.
TAR.BZ2 files are known for offering better compression ratios than TAR.GZ files, though the compression and decompression processes may take slightly longer. This format is often used for archiving source code and distributing software packages where efficient compression is crucial.
