SynBzPas.pas and UnCompressBzMem - what is the unpacked size?

I want to use UnCompressBzMem() from SynBZPas.pas to unpack z .bz2 file. But in order to do so I need to know the last parameter:
DestSize: integer
so the size after unpacking. Where do I get this size from an actual .bz2 file?

I don't think it is allowed by the BZ encoding itself, IIRC.

You should store the uncompressed length somewhere - as we do with our TAlgoCompress wrappers.

I just have a standard .bz2 file. So I can't unpack it? Somehow programs like 7zip and WinRAR can unpack this file.

Maybe uncompressed size is coded in first bytes of file? Try this.

According to the file format defination, we can not get that size before uncompress.
