Name

unpar - ProLine archive unpacker

Syntax

unpar [ options ] file

Description

Unpar unpacks the contents of a ProLine archive (par) file. For example:

unpar update.par

unpacks the contents of the file “update.par” into the current working directory. Multiple par files can be unpacked by specifying them on the command line.

Options

-d

Causes any directories created to be set to the current working directory’s permissions. This is always the case for non-super users. Without the -d option, directories created under super user access are set to the permissions stored in the archive’s entry.

-l

Lists the contents of the archive. Nothing is extracted.

-r

Replaces existing files without warning.

If a file being unpacked already exists and the -r flag is not given, you are prompted to replace the existing file. Press Y to replace it, or N to skip it. Pressing R replaces the existing file and turns on the -r flag for you, causing subsequent collisions to be replaced automatically. Press Q to stop immediately and quit.

Note

Unpar can unpack any file in the Binary II format.
