About atool: atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip, zip, bzip2, rar, 7zip, ...). atool is called under several names: * aunpack extracts files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded "multiple files in archive root" problem by first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible. aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake. * apack creates archives. * als lists files in archives. * acat extracts files to standard out. * adiff generates a diff between archives. * arepack converts between archive formats.
