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.

   -v, -version
          Print version and exit.

   -h, -help
          Display help information.
