decompress a .bz2 file
Synopsis
nbdkit file --filter=bzip2 FILENAME.bz2
Description
nbdkit-bzip2-filter
is a filter for nbdkit(1) which transparently decompresses a bzip2-compressed file. You can place this filter on top of nbdkit-file-plugin(1) to decompress a local .bz2 file.
The filter only allows read-only connections.
To allow seeking this filter has to keep the contents of the complete uncompressed file, which it does in a hidden temporary file under $TMPDIR
.
Parameters
There are no parameters specific to this filter.
Environment Variables
- TMPDIR
Because the bzip2 format is not seekable, this filter has to store the complete contents of the compressed file in a temporary file located in /var/tmp by default. You can override this location by setting the
TMPDIR
environment variable before starting nbdkit.
Files
- $filterdir/nbdkit-bzip2-filter.so
The plugin.
Use
nbdkit --dump-config
to find the location of$filterdir
.
