Name : pbzip2
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 1.1.0
Release : 1.el5
URL :
http://www.compression.ca/pbzip2/
Summary : Parallel implementation of bzip2
Description :
PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file
compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP
machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2
v1.0.2 or newer (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be
decompressed with bzip2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Changes in 1.1.0 (Mar 13, 2010) - Added support for multi-threaded
decompression using STDIN/pipes - Added code to support throttling compression
to prevent memory exhaustion with slow output pipe - Added -m switch to specify
max memory usage amount before throttling starts (default 100MB) - Fixed bug
that did not allow command line parameters to be used when compressing data from
STDIN - Added long options to man page and -h output - Added --loadavg, --read
long options - Added support for CPU detection on Win32 - Major improvements
to protection of shared variables, error and signal handling, program
termination - Added -S switch for thread stack size customization (needs
USE_STACKSIZE_CUSTOMIZATION defined when compiling) - Fixed command line
parsing bug for -b, -p, -m switches - Fixed infinite loop when fileWriter fails
to create output file at start - Fixed bug that deleted input filename (with
.bz2 extension for compression and without .bz2 extension for decompression)
when a user interrupts process with CTRL-C while outputting to STDOUT - Fixed
bug where 0 byte files were not processed properly when data input from STDIN -
Ignores fwrite return and passes chown errors in writeFileMetaData if effective
uid root - OutputBuffer usage redesigned as fixed-size circular buffer - Lots
of minor bugs fixed (see AUTHORS or pbzip2.cpp for full details) - Special
thanks to Yavor Nikolov for providing the majority of contributions to this
release and a significant amount of testing
