   bzopen -- Opens a bzip2 compressed file

Description

   resource bzopen ( string filename, string mode)

   bzopen() opens a bzip2 (.bz2) file for reading or writing. filename is
   the name of the file to open. mode is similar to the fopen() function
   (`r' for read, `w' for write, etc.).

   If the open fails, bzopen() returns FALSE, otherwise it returns a
   pointer to the newly opened file.

   Example 1. bzopen() Example
   <?php
   $file = "/tmp/foo.bz2";
   $bz = bzopen($file, "r") or die("Couldn't open $file for reading");
   bzclose($bz);
   ?>

   See also bzclose().
