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,

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.
