This got me digging a little further, and (as a consequence) I just learned something new and fun: the current libarchive-based BSD tar can create and extract a ton [1] of other formats, including ZIP, RAR, and 7Zip files! That'll save me some time next time I need to extract one at the command line; I always end up having to look at unzip's man page to make sure it's actually going to do what I want, and the 7zip command line utility's kind of funky (and not installed by default most places). But 'tar -xvf filename' is permanently burned into my mind and pretty much always does exactly what I want. [1] https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=libarchive-formats... |
