+  bzip3 is a decompression tool and library. Depending on whether or not the
+  CLI or the library is used the file format is slightly different. This
+  specification describes the structure of the format as generated by the CLI
+  (header and chunks, not blocks).
+
+  bzip3 assumes that the entire file is a bzip3 archive and will fail as there
+  is no reliable way to detect if data following a chunk is a next chunk or if
+  it is other data (like what happens in concatenated files).
+
+  A simple example to illustrate:
+
+  $ cp /bin/ls .
+  $ bzip3 ls
+  $ cat ls.bz3 ls > test.bz3
+  $ bz3cat test.bz3 > /dev/null
+  Failed to decode a block: Inconsistent headers.
+
+  If a potential chunk has an invalid length (len_compressed), then the end of
+  the file has been reached. This check will not always work as it is possible
+  to have data where the first four bytes will be a valid length. With
+  additional block parsing and CRC checks it will be possible to detect invalid
+  blocks. This is future work.
