Compress-Bzip2 Cmdlet

Parameters   Output Objects   Configuration Settings  

The Compress-Bzip2 cmdlet implements a Bzip2 compressor.

Syntax

Compress-Bzip2 [parameters]

Remarks

The bzip2 format is only used to archive a single file. Accordingly, the operation of this cmdlet is simpler than that of the other formats.

The Input parameter should be set to the file to compress. The Output parameter should be set to the name and file path of the resulting compressed file.

The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.


# compress a file
