NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       xarchiver [OPTION] [archive]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Xarchiver  is  a lightweight desktop environment independent GTK+ front
13       end for handling 7z, a (libraries), apk, arj, bzip, bzip2, bzip3,  cab,
14       cbz,  compress,  cpio,  epub,  exe  (self-extracting Windows archives),
15       gzip, iso, jar, jsonlz4, lha, lrzip, lz4,  lzip,  lzma,  lzop,  mozlz4,
16       oxt,  rar,  snap,  squashfs,  tar,  xpi,  xz,  zip, zpaq, zstd, tar.bz,
17       tar.bz2, tar.bz3, tar.gz, tar.lrz, tar.lz, tar.lz4, tar.lzma, tar.lzop,
18       tar.xz, tar.Z, tar.zst and (without their package managers) deb and rpm
19       files.
20       It detects the file types by their file signature (magic  number),  not
21       by  their  extension,  and utilizes various (un)compressor/(un)archiver
22       command line programs at runtime. It allows to list,  test  and  create
23       archives,  add  and  copy  files to them, extract, delete, cut and drag
24       files from them, edit files in them, and  paste  and  drop  files  into
25       them.  Password protected 7z, arj, lrzip, rar and zip archives are sup‐
26       ported and will be recognized.
