What is a .tbz2 file?
TBZ2 is a shorthand extension for a TAR archive compressed with bzip2, equivalent to .tar.bz2. The tar step bundles files and metadata, then bzip2 compresses the combined stream for a higher ratio. It is used for distributing larger source and data archives.
How to use this file
Use an example TBZ2 to test the decompress-then-untar pipeline with bzip2, and tools that recognize the abbreviated .tbz2 extension.
