# Intel® Threading Building Blocks.
fgbzip2 sample

fgbzip2 is a parallel implementation of bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses tbb::flow. The output of this application is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.6 or newer.
This example includes software developed by Julian R Seward. See here for copyright information.
It exemplifies support for asynchronous capabilities in the flow graph API, in particular async_node and async_msg.
This example uses C++11 lambda expressions. Specifying a compiler option such as -std=c++11 or similar might be necessary in order to build the example. For more information please refer to the documentation for the compiler you use.

Usage

`fgbzip2 -h`
  Prints the help for command line options
`fgbzip2 [-b=value] [-v] [-l=value] [-a=value] [filename]`
  -b block size in 100 KB chunks, [1 .. 9]
  -v print diagnostic output to screen
  -l used memory limit for compression algorithm with 1 MB (minimum) granularity
  -a name of the used graph async realization - can be async_node or async_msg
  filename name of the file to compress
To run a short version of this example, e.g., for use with Intel® Parallel Inspector:
  Build a debug version of the example (see the build instructions).
  Run it with a small problem size, e.g., `fgbzip2 -b=1 -a fgbzip2`.
