seek-bzip is a pure-JavaScript Node.js module (version 2.0.0, last published over 6 years ago) designed for random-access decoding of bzip2 data. Its primary differentiator is the ability to seek to and decompress individual blocks within a bzip2 file, provided an external index. It mainly operates synchronously, decoding buffers into other buffers. While it offers experimental support for Node.js streams, this functionality relies on the `fibers` package, which is deprecated and largely incompatible with modern Node.js versions (v16+), severely limiting its utility in current environments. The package also includes a `seek-bzip-table` tool for generating the necessary block indices.
