Archive

=======

Create, list, and extract archives.

Commands

---------

  - `archive` creates an archive based on the provided archive name.

  - `lsarchive` lists the contents of one or more archives.

  - `unarchive` extracts the contents of one or more archives.

Supported Formats

-----------------

The following archive formats are supported when the required utilities are

installed:

  - *.tar.gz*, *.tgz* require `tar` (optionally `pigz`).

  - *.tar.bz2*, *.tbz* require `tar` (optionally `pbzip2`).

  - *.tar.xz*, *.txz* require `tar` with *xz* support.

  - *.tar.zst* requires `tar` with *zstd* support.

  - *.tar.lzma*, *.tlz* require `tar` with *lzma* support.

  - *.tar* requires `tar`.

  - *.gz* requires `gunzip`.

  - *.bz2* requires `bunzip2`.

  - *.xz* requires `unxz`.

  - *.lzma* requires `unlzma`.

  - *.Z* requires `uncompress`.

  - *.zip*, *.jar* requires `unzip`.

  - *.rar* requires `rar` (needed for `archive` support), `unrar` or `lsar` and `unar`.

  - *.7z* requires `7za`.

  - *.deb* requires `ar`, `tar`.

Additionally, if `pigz` and/or `pbzip2` are installed, `archive` will use them

over their traditional counterparts, `gzip` and `bzip2` respectively, to take

full advantage of all available CPU cores for compression.
