Patool
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Patool is an archive file manager.
|
|
|
|
Various archive formats can be created, extracted, tested, listed,
|
|
searched, repacked and compared with 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), ISO (.iso), 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, ZIP, BZIP2 and GZIP
|
|
are supported natively and do not require helper
|
|
applications to be installed.
