π The common, traditional assignment of the .TAR.BZ2 specification layout is tightly focused on the TAR-wrapped archives encoded and opened up with the BZ2 encoding algorithm. In practice, the .TAR.BZ2 file extension instance includes one or several compressed data objects. As the practical experience permits to check out, the noted schema arrangement is widely exploited for Linux software package distributions. Actually, the BZ2 encoding principle introduces and interferes with the open based Burrows-Wheeler encoding approach as well as Run-Length Encoding (RLE) methodology for high ratios of compression. In common, the noted resources are packaged and bundled using the aforementioned procedure much like the .TAR.GZ entry layout.
π It is recommended and suggested to make service of 7-Zip, WinRAR, Cygwin, PeaZip, or StuffIt Deluxe archivers capable of opening, retrieving, and extracting the file assets from a corresponding .TAR.BZ2-packaged data item.
