17              to the current directory.
18
19       -f, -force-overwrite
20              Always overwrite files when a file to be unpacked already exists
21              on  disk.   By  default,  the program asks the user if possible,
22              otherwise skips the file.
23
24       -r, -force-rename
25              Always rename files when a file to be unpacked already exists on
26              disk.
27
28       -s, -force-skip
29              Always  skip  files when a file to be unpacked already exists on
30              disk.
31
32       -d, -force-directory
33              Always create a containing directory for  the  contents  of  the
34              unpacked  archive.   By default, a directory is created if there
35              is more than one top-level file or folder.
36
37       -D, -no-directory
38              Never create a containing directory  for  the  contents  of  the
39              unpacked archive.
40
41       -p, -password PASSWORD
42              The password to use for decrypting protected archives.
43
44       -e, -encoding ENCODING
45              The encoding to use for filenames in the archive, when it is not
46              known.  If not specified, the program  attempts  to  auto-detect
47              the encoding used.  Use "help" or "list" as the argument to give
48              a listing of all supported encodings.
49
50       -E, -password-encoding ENCODING
51              The encoding to use for the password for the archive, when it is
52              not  known.  If not specified, then either the encoding given by
53              the -encoding option or the auto-detected encoding is used.
54
55       -i, -indexes
56              Instead of specifying the files to list as filenames or wildcard
57              patterns, specify them as indexes, as output by lsar.
58
59       -nr, -no-recursion
60              Do  not attempt to extract archives contained in other archives.
61              For instance, when unpacking a .tar.gz  file,  only  unpack  the
62              .tar file and not its contents.
63
64       -t, -copy-time
65              Copy  the  file  modification  time from the archive file to the
66              containing directory, if one is created.
67
68       -k, -forks visible|hidden|skip
69              How to handle Mac OS resource forks.  visible creates  AppleDou‐
70              ble files with the extension ".rsrc", hidden creates AppleDouble
71              files with the prefix  "._",  and  skip  discards  all  resource
72              forks.  Defaults to visible.
