| Summary : Commandline Tool for Managing File Archives of various Types
|
Description :
atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar,
tar+gzip, zip etc).
The main command is aunpack which extracts files from an archive. Did you ever
extract files from an archive, not checking whether the files were located in
a subdirectory or in the top directory of the archive, resulting in files
scattered all over the place? aunpack overcomes this problem by first
extracting to a new directory. If there was only a single file in the archive
, that file is moved to the original directory. aunpack also prevents local
files from being overwritten by mistake.
The other commands provided are apack (to create archives), als (to list files
in archives), and acat (to extract files to standard out). As atool invokes
external programs to handle the archives, not all commands may be supported
for a certain type of archives.
atool identifies archives by their file extension. Sometimes this is not
possible - for instance rar archives usually have varying numeric file
extensions. In those cases when atool can\'t identify the format, file is used
instead. (atool can be configured not to use file.)
atool is written in Perl by Oskar Liljeblad and is free software (GNU General
Public License).
