patool includes various archive types that can be created, extracted, tested and listed. The advantage of patool is its simplicity in handling archive files without having to remember a myriad of programs and options.

The archive format is determined by the file(1) program and as a fallback by the archive file extension.

patool supports 7z (.7z), ZIP (.zip, .jar), GZIP (.gz), compress (.Z), BZIP2 (.bz2), TAR (.tar), ARJ (.arj), CAB (.cab), CPIO (.cpio), RPM (.rpm), DEB (.deb), LZIP (.lz), LZOP (.lzo), LZMA (.lzma), RAR (.rar) and XZ (.xz) formats. It relies on helper applications to handle those archive formats (for example bzip2 for BZIP2 archives).

What is new in this release:

  • GZIP creation support for 7z modules has been added.

What is new in version 1.2:

  • An error with detecting *.gz files has been fixed.

What is new in version 0.19:

What is new in version 0.18:

  • The project has moved from Sourceforge to Github.
