IMPLEMENTATION

Viewers responsible for this format

bzip2 compresses one stream in independently checkable blocks and is often placed around TAR archives. Anyfile validates recognizable header metadata and reports the container relationship locally.

Common question

Does TBZ mean the same thing as BZ2?

TBZ usually signals a bzip2-compressed TAR archive, while a plain .bz2 can wrap any single payload.
