=======

|
|
|
||
|
|
Patool is a portable command line archive file manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 fallback by the archive file extension.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
patool supports 7z (.7z), ACE (.ace), ADF (.adf), ALZIP (.alz),
|
||
|
|
APE (.ape), AR (.a), ARC (.arc), ARJ (.arj), BZIP2 (.bz2), CAB
|
||
|
|
(.cab), compress (.Z), CPIO (.cpio), DEB (.deb), DMS (.dms),
|
||
|
|
FLAC (.flac), GZIP (.gz), LRZIP (.lrz), LZH (.lha, .lzh), LZIP
|
||
|
|
(.lz), LZMA (.lzma), LZOP (.lzo), RPM (.rpm), RAR (.rar), RZIP
|
||
|
|
(.rz), SHN (.shn), TAR (.tar), XZ (.xz), ZIP (.zip, .jar) and
|
||
|
|
ZOO (.zoo) formats. It relies on helper applications to handle
|
||
|
|
those archive formats (for example bzip2 for BZIP2 archives).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The archive formats TAR (.tar), ZIP (.zip), BZIP2 (.bz2) and
|
||
|
|
GZIP (.gz) are supported natively and do not require helper
|
||
|
|
applications to be installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
