# atool

|
|
|
> A script for managing file archives of various types.
|
|
> `atool` uses external archiver programs but provides a consistent command-line interface for listing, extracting, creating, and managing archives.
|
|
> More information: <https://manned.org/atool>.
|
|
|
|
- List files in an archive:
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-l|--list]}} {{path/to/archive.zip}}`
|
|
|
|
- Extract an archive (safely creates a subdirectory if needed):
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-x|--extract]}} {{archive.tar.gz}}`
|
|
|
|
- Extract an archive to a specific directory:
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-X|--extract-to]}} {{path/to/output_directory}} {{archive.rar}}`
|
|
|
|
- Display a specific file's content from an archive to `stdout` (like `cat`):
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-c|--cat]}} {{archive.tar}} {{path/to/file_in_archive.txt}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create a new archive from specified files and/or directories:
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-a|--add]}} {{new_archive.zip}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- List files in an archive and send the output through a pager:
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-l|--list]}} {{[-p|--pager]}} {{large_archive.tar.bz2}}`
|
|
|
|
- Extract multiple archives at once (each to its own subdirectory if needed):
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-x|--extract]}} {{[-e|--each]}} {{archive1.zip}} {{archive2.tar.gz}} {{*.rar}}`
|
|
|
|
- Repack an archive from one format to another (e.g., `.tar.gz` to `.tar.7z`):
|
|
|
|
`atool {{[-r|--repack]}} {{old_archive.tar.gz}} {{new_archive.tar.7z}}`
