unar v1.10.7 (Oct 10 2023), a tool for extracting the contents of archive files. Usage: unar [options] archive [files ...]
Available options: -output-directory (-o) <string> The directory to write the contents of the archive to. Defaults to the current directory. If set to a single dash (-), no files will be created, and all data will be output to stdout. -force-overwrite (-f) 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. -force-rename (-r) Always rename files when a file to be unpacked already exists on disk. -force-skip (-s) Always skip files when a file to be unpacked already exists on disk. -force-directory (-d) 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. -no-directory (-D) Never create a containing directory for the contents of the unpacked archive. -password (-p) <string> The password to use for decrypting protected archives. -encoding (-e) <encoding name> 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. -password-encoding (-E) <name> 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. -indexes (-i) Instead of specifying the files to unpack as filenames or wildcard patterns, specify them as indexes, as output by lsar. -no-recursion (-nr) Do not attempt to extract archives contained in other archives. For instance, when unpacking a .tar.gz file, only unpack the .gz file and not its contents. -copy-time (-t) Copy the file modification time from the archive file to the containing directory, if one is created. -no-quarantine (-nq) Do not copy Finder quarantine metadata from the archive to the extracted files. -forks (-k) <fork|visible|hidden|skip> How to handle Mac OS resource forks. "fork" creates regular 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 "fork". -quiet (-q) Run in quiet mode. -version (-v) Print version and exit. -help (-h) Display this information.
