<para>Bzip2 is a compression program</para>

<para>The bzip2 kioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use
as a filter.  For example, the tar kioslave can filter a file through
the bzip2 kioslave, in order to display the contents of a <literal
role="extension">tar.bz2</literal> file directly in a &konqueror;
window.</para>

<para>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal
role="extension">.bz2</literal> in &konqueror;, this kioslave is used to
uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.</para>

<para>If you are a developer, and would like to use the bzip2 filter,
you can find documentation on using kioslaves at <ulink
