12 Xarchiver is a lightweight desktop environment independent GTK+ front
13 end for handling 7z, arj, bzip2, compress, cpio, gzip, lha, lrzip, lz4,
14 lzip, lzma, lzop, rar, tar, xz, zip, zstd, tar.bz2, tar.gz, tar.lrz,
15 tar.lz, tar.lz4, tar.lzma, tar.lzop, tar.xz, tar.Z, tar.zst and (with‐
16 out their package managers) deb and rpm files.
17 It detects the file types by their magic header, not by their exten‐
18 sion, and utilizes various (un)compressor/(un)archiver command line
19 programs at runtime. It allows you to list, test and create archives
20 and to add, extract and delete files from them. Password protected ar‐
21 chives are supported and will be recognized.
