bzip2 and xz

bzip2 and xz are command-line tools used for file compression in Unix-like operating systems. They reduce the size of files, making them easier to store and transfer. bzip2 generally offers higher compression than gzip but is slower, while xz provides even better compression ratios and is often used for distributing software packages, though it can be slower than both gzip and bzip2.
