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, .cb7), ACE (.ace, .cba), 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, .cbr), RZIP (.rz), SHN (.shn),
|
||
|
|
TAR (.tar, .cbt), XZ (.xz), ZIP (.zip, .jar, .cbz) and ZOO (.zoo) archive
|
||
|
|
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.
