State of EWF2/bzip2 support (and documentation) #22

Closed JustMyGithub closed 1 year ago

ewfacquirestream -h says bzip2 is supported only for EWF2 formats. According to the readme my understanding is that EWF2 formats are not supported (which would mean pbzip2 is not supported as well), but if that was true: why is bzip2 "supported" anyway? (maybe only for decryption like for mount ?)

legacy does not support bzip2, I'll update the ewfacquirestream information. The code base was split in legacy and experimental, this might be a left over from before that split.

Thx, that is what I expected. (and incredibly fast reply!)
