# lrzuntar

> A wrapper for `lrunzip` to simplify decompression of directories.
> See also: `lrztar`, `lrzip`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/lrzuntar>.

- Decompress from a file to the current directory:

`lrzuntar {{path/to/archive.tar.lrz}}`

- Decompress from a file to the current directory using a specific number of processor threads:

`lrzuntar -p {{8}} {{path/to/archive.tar.lrz}}`

- Decompress from a file to the current directory and silently overwrite items that already exist:

`lrzuntar -f {{archive.tar.lrz}}`

- Specify the output path:

`lrzuntar -O {{path/to/directory}} {{archive.tar.lrz}}`

- Delete the compressed file after decompression:

`lrzuntar -D {{path/to/archive.tar.lrz}}`
