Archive ======= Provides functions to create, list, and extract archives. Functions --------- - `archive` creates an archive based on the provided archive name. - `lsarchive` lists the contents of one or more archives. - `unarchive` extracts the contents of one or more archives. Supported Formats ----------------- The following archive formats are supported when the required utilities are installed: - *.tar.gz*, *.tgz* require `tar` (optionally `pigz`). - *.tar.bz2*, *.tbz* require `tar` (optionally `pbzip2`). - *.tar.xz*, *.txz* require `tar` with *xz* support. - *.tar.zma*, *.tlz* require `tar` with *lzma* support. - *.tar* requires `tar`. - *.gz* requires `gunzip`. - *.bz2* requires `bunzip2`. - *.xz* requires `unxz`. - *.lzma* requires `unlzma`. - *.Z* requires `uncompress`. - *.zip*, *.jar* requires `unzip`. - *.rar* requires `rar` (needed for `archive` support), `unrar` or `lsar` and `unar`. - *.7z* requires `7za`. - *.deb* requires `ar`, `tar`. Additionally, if `pigz` and/or `pbzip2` are installed, `archive` will use them over their traditional counterparts, `gzip` and `bzip2` respectively, to take full advantage of all available CPU cores for compression. Alternatives ------------ Specifically on macOS, [The Unarchiver][1] provides a similar command line tool which doesn't depend on a number of other programs being installed.
