bzip3 - better and stronger spiritual successor to bzip2.
Usage: bzip3 [-e/-z/-d/-t/-c/-h/-V] [-b block_size] [-j jobs] files...
Operations:
-e/-z, --encode compress data (default)
-d, --decode decompress data
-r, --recover attempt at recovering corrupted data
-t, --test verify validity of compressed data
-h, --help display an usage overview
-f, --force force overwriting output if it already exists
--rm remove input files after successful (de)compression
-k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files (default)
-v, --verbose verbose mode (display more information)
-V, --version display version information
Extra flags:
-c, --stdout force writing to standard output
-b N, --block=N set block size in MiB {16}
-B, --batch process all files specified as inputs
-j N, --jobs=N set the amount of parallel threads {1}
