SYNOPSIS
unar [OPTION]... ARCHIVE [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Extract FILEs or the contents of ARCHIVE.
OPTIONS
-o, -output-directory DIRECTORY The directory to write the contents of the archive to. Defaults to the current directory. -f, -force-overwrite Always overwrite files when a file to be unpacked already exists on disk. By default, the program asks the user if possible, otherwise skips the file. -r, -force-rename Always rename files when a file to be unpacked already exists on disk. -s, -force-skip Always skip files when a file to be unpacked already exists on disk. -d, -force-directory Always create a containing directory for the contents of the unpacked archive. By default, a directory is created if there is more than one top-level file or folder. -D, -no-directory Never create a containing directory for the contents of the unpacked archive. -p, -password PASSWORD The password to use for decrypting protected archives. -e, -encoding ENCODING The encoding to use for filenames in the archive, when it is not known. If not specified, the program attempts to auto-detect the encoding used. Use "help" or "list" as the argument to give a listing of all supported encodings. -E, -password-encoding ENCODING The encoding to use for the password for the archive, when it is not known. If not specified, then either the encoding given by the -encoding option or the auto- detected encoding is used. -i, -indexes Instead of specifying the files to list as filenames or wildcard patterns, specify them as indexes, as output by lsar. -nr, -no-recursion Do not attempt to extract archives contained in other archives. For instance, when unpacking a .tar.gz file, only unpack the .tar file and not its contents. -t, -copy-time Copy the file modification time from the archive file to the containing directory, if one is created. -k, -forks visible|hidden|skip How to handle Mac OS resource forks. visible creates AppleDouble files with the extension ".rsrc", hidden creates AppleDouble files with the prefix "._", and skip discards all resource forks. Defaults to visible. -q, -quiet Run in quiet mode. -h, -help Display help information.
