UNRAR(1)                         RAR archiver                         UNRAR(1)

NAME
       unrar - extract files from rar archives

SYNOPSIS
       unrar  command  [-switch ...] archive [file ...] [@listfiles ...] [path
       ...] [path_to_extract/]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the unrar command.
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution  be-
       cause the original program does not have a manual page.
       Commands and options described here are as of unrar 6.0.

USAGE
       archive
              Archive  file name in RAR or other supported format.  If archive
              file uses RAR multiple volume format, specify only first  volume
              file name as archive file name.

       file ...
              File  path  name to extract.  You can specify more path names at
              one time.

       @listfiles ...
              If argument starts with "@", unrar uses listfile  as  file  path
              list  file.   This  list file includes file path list to extract
              from archive file.  You can use 2 or  more  list  files  at  one
              time.
              File  list  uses  one line for one file path.  And blank line is
              ignored.
              This file is used to extract many file path names  in  one  time
              that your shell can't accept.

       path_to_extract
              If  last  argument is ended with "/", unrar uses path_to_extract
              as file extraction target path.

COMMANDS
       After the program name comes a command and then optional switches  with
       dashes  before  them.   A summary of commands is included below.  For a
       complete description, run unrar without options.
