Extract BZIP2

BZIP2, short for 'Burrows-Wheeler Block Sort Text Compressor,' is a file compression utility commonly used in Unix and Linux systems. As the name suggests, it is best suited for compressing individual text files.

To extract files from a BZIP2 archive, use the static ExtractArchiveToDirectory method from the IronBZip2Archive class. This method requires the BZIP2 file path as the first parameter and the extraction directory as the second parameter. It's worth noting that both the file extension and the .bz2 extension are included in the file name. This is because, during compression, the file extension is removed, and during extraction, the method removes the .bz2 extension.

{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Specify the path to the BZIP2 file
        string bzip2FilePath = "path/to/yourfile.bz2";

        // Specify the directory where you want to extract the files
        string extractionDirectory = "path/to/destination/directory";

        // Extract the BZIP2 archive to the specified directory
        // This method extracts the contents of the BZIP2 file to the extraction directory.
        IronBZip2Archive.ExtractArchiveToDirectory(bzip2FilePath, extractionDirectory);

        // Inform the user that the extraction was successful.
        Console.WriteLine("Extraction complete.");
    }
}

// - Handle any exceptions that may occur during the extraction process in production code.
