   If invoked as `bzip2', default action is to compress.
			  as `bunzip2',  default action is to decompress.
			  as `bzcat', default action is to decompress to stdout.

   If no file names are given, bzip2 compresses or decompresses
   from standard input to standard output.  You can combine
   short flags, so `-v -4' means the same as -v4 or -4v, &c.
