NAME
|
||
|
|
patool - simple manager for file archives of various types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
patool <command> [options] <archive-file>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Various archive types can be created, extracted and listed by patool. The archive format is determined by the archive file extension and as a fallback with file(1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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), LZOP
|
||
|
|
(.lzo)and RAR (.rar) 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
|
||
|
|
Extract files from an archive4. Often one wants to extract all files in an archive to a single subdirectory. 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--force
|
||
|
|
Allow overwriting of local files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--verbose
