NAME

       phar, phar.phar - PHAR (PHP archive) command line tool

SYNOPSIS

       phar <command> [options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  PHAR  file  format  provides  a way to put entire PHP applications into a single file
       called a "phar" (PHP Archive) for easy distribution and installation.

       With the phar command you can create, update or extract PHP archives.

       Commands: add compress delete extract help help-list info list meta-del meta-get  meta-set
       pack sign stub-get stub-set tree version

add command

       Add entries to a PHAR package.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       ...            Any  number of input files and directories. If -i is in use then ONLY files
                      and matching the given regular expression are being packed. If -x is  given
                      then files matching that regular expression are NOT being packed.

       Optional arguments:

       -a alias       Provide an alias name for the phar file.

       -c algo        Compression algorithm (see COMPRESSION )

       -i regex       Specifies a regular expression for input files.

       -l level       Number of preceding subdirectories to strip from file entries

       Compress or uncompress all files or a selected entry.

       Required arguments:

       -c algo        Compression algorithm (see COMPRESSION )

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -e entry       Name  of  entry  to  work  on (must include PHAR internal directory name if
                      any).

delete command

       Delete entry from a PHAR archive

       Required arguments:

       -e entry       Name of entry to work on (must include  PHAR  internal  directory  name  if

       Optional arguments:

       -i regex       Specifies a regular expression for input files.

       -x regex       Regular expression for input files to exclude.

       ...            Directory to extract to (defaults to '.').

help command

       This help or help for a selected command.

       Optional arguments:

       ...            Optional command to retrieve help for.

help-list command

       Lists available commands.

info command

       Get information about a PHAR package.

       By using -k it is possible to return a single value.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -k index       Subscription index to work on.

list command

       List contents of a PHAR archive.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -i regex       Specifies a regular expression for input files.

       -x regex       Regular expression for input files to exclude.

meta-del command

       Delete meta information of a PHAR entry or a PHAR package.

       If  -k  is given then the metadata is expected to be an array and the given index is being
       deleted.

       If something was deleted the return value is 0 otherwise it is 1.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -e entry       Name of entry to work on (must include  PHAR  internal  directory  name  if
                      any).

       -k index       Subscription index to work on.

meta-get command

       Get  meta  information  of a PHAR entry or a PHAR package in serialized from. If no output
       file is specified for meta data then stdout  is  being  used.   You  can  also  specify  a
       particular  index  using  -k. In that case the metadata is expected to be an array and the
       value of the given index is returned using echo rather than using serialize. If that index
       does not exist or no meta data is present then the return value is 1.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -e entry       Name  of  entry  to  work  on (must include PHAR internal directory name if
                      any).

       -k index       Subscription index to work on.

meta-set command

       Set meta data of a PHAR entry or a PHAR package using serialized input. If no  input  file
       is  specified  for  meta  data then stdin is being used. You can also specify a particular
       index using -k. In that case the metadata is expected to be an array and the value of  the
       given  index  is  being  set.  If the metadata is not present or empty a new array will be
       created.  If the metadata is present and a flat value then the return  value  is  1.  Also
       using -k the input is been taken directly rather then being serialized.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       -m meta        Meta data to store with entry (serialized php data).

       Optional arguments:

       -e entry       Name  of  entry  to  work  on (must include PHAR internal directory name if
                      any).

       -k index       Subscription index to work on.

pack command

       Pack files into a PHAR archive.

       When using -s <stub>, then the stub  file  is  being  excluded  from  the  list  of  input
       files/dirs.To  create  an  archive  that  contains  PEAR  class  PHP_Archive then point -p
       argument to PHP/Archive.php.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       ...            Any number of input files and directories. If -i is in use then ONLY  files
                      and  matching the given regular expression are being packed. If -x is given
                      then files matching that regular expression are NOT being packed.

       Optional arguments:

       -a alias       Provide an alias name for the phar file.

       -b bang        Hash-bang line to start the archive (e.g. #!/usr/bin/php).  The  hash  mark
                      itself '#!' and the newline character are optional.

       -c algo        Compression algorithm (see COMPRESSION )

       -h hash        Selects the hash algorithm (see HASH )

       -i regex       Specifies a regular expression for input files.

       -l level       Number of preceding subdirectories to strip from file entries

       -p loader      Location  of  PHP_Archive  class file (pear list-files PHP_Archive).You can
                      use '0' or '1' to locate it automatically using the mentioned pear command.
                      When using '0' the command does not error out when the class file cannot be
                      located. This switch also adds some code around  the  stub  so  that  class
                      PHP_Archive  gets  registered  as  phar:// stream wrapper if necessary. And
                      finally this switch will add the file phar.inc from this package  and  load
                      it to ensure class Phar is present.

       -s stub        Select the stub file.

       -x regex       Regular expression for input files to exclude.

       -y key         Private key for OpenSSL signing.

sign command

       Set signature hash algorithm.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       -h hash        Selects the hash algorithm (see HASH )

       Optional arguments:

       -y key         Private key for OpenSSL signing.

stub-get command

       Get  the  stub of a PHAR file. If no output file is specified as stub then stdout is being
       used.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -s stub        Select the stub file.

stub-set command

       Set the stub of a PHAR file. If no input file is specified as stub  then  stdin  is  being
       used.

       Required arguments:

       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

       Optional arguments:

       -b bang        Hash-bang  line  to start the archive (e.g. #!/usr/bin/php).  The hash mark
                      itself '#!' and the newline character are optional.

       -p loader      Location of PHP_Archive class file (pear  list-files  PHP_Archive).You  can
                      use '0' or '1' to locate it automatically using the mentioned pear command.
                      When using '0' the command does not error out when the class file cannot be
                      located.  This  switch  also  adds  some code around the stub so that class
                      PHP_Archive gets registered as phar:// stream  wrapper  if  necessary.  And
                      finally  this  switch will add the file phar.inc from this package and load
                      it to ensure class Phar is present.

       -s stub        Select the stub file.
