NAME

       xarchiver - GTK+ front end for archive management

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, cb7, cbr, cbt, cbz, chm, compress, cpio,
       docx,  epub,  exe  (self-extracting  Windows archives), fbz, gzip, iso, jar, jsonlz4, lha,
       lrzip, lz4, lzip, lzma, lzop, mozlz4, odt, oxt, rar, rzip, 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.lzo, tar.rz, tar.xz, tar.Z, tar.zst and (without their package managers) deb  and  rpm
       files.
       It  recognizes  file types by their file signature (magic number), not by their extension,
       and uses various (de)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.
