Bzip2 is a compression program
The bzip2 tdeioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use as a filter. For example, the tar tdeioslave can filter a file through the bzip2 tdeioslave, in order to display the contents of a tar.bz2 file directly in a &konqueror; window.
If you click on a file compressed with a .bz2 in &konqueror;, this tdeioslave is used to uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.
If you are a developer, and would like to use the bzip2 filter, you can find documentation on using tdeioslaves at http://developer.kde.org
