DESCRIPTION
|
2010-03-04 18:51:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Various archive types can be created, extracted, tested and listed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
patool. The advantage of patool is its simplicity in handling archive
|
|
|
|
|
|
files without having to remember a myriad of programs and options.

|
|
|
|
The archive format is determined by the file(1) program and as a fall‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
back by the archive file extension.

|
|
patool supports 7z (.7z), ZIP (.zip, .jar), GZIP (.gz), compress (.Z),
|
|
|
|
|
|
BZIP2 (.bz2), TAR (.tar), ARJ (.arj), CAB (.cab), CPIO (.cpio), RPM
|
|
|
|
|
|
(.rpm), DEB (.deb), LZIP (.lz), LZOP (.lzo), LZMA (.lzma), RAR (.rar)
|
|
|
|
|
|
and XZ (.xz) formats. It relies on helper applications to handle those
|
|
|
|
|
|
archive formats (for example bzip2 for BZIP2 archives).

COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several commands and options are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extract
|
2010-03-06 10:29:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Extract files from an archive. This is the default command if no com‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
mand was given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often one wants to extract all files in an archive to a single subdi‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
rectory. However, some archives contain multiple files in their root
|
|
|
|
|
|
directories. The patool program overcomes this problem by first
|
|
|
|
|
|
extracting files to a unique (temporary) directory, and then moving its
|
|
|
|
|
|
contents back if possible. This also prevents local files from being
|
|
|
|
|
|
overwritten by mistake.
