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).
