Patool is a portable archive file manager
|
|
|
|
Various archive types can be created, extracted, tested, listed, compared,
|
|
searched and repacked 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), 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).
