The command "bzip2 -h" is used to display the help information for the bzip2 compression program.

The "bzip2" command is a file compression utility that is used to compress or decompress files using the BZIP2 compression algorithm. The "-h" option is a common flag used with many command-line programs to display the help or usage information.

When you run "bzip2 -h" in the terminal, it will output a brief summary of the available command-line options and their descriptions for the bzip2 program. This can be helpful if you are unsure about how to use specific features or need a quick reminder of the available options.
