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