Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +0000[diff] [blame]12 ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
13 extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
14 a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
15 retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
16 The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
17 and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on

21 see long filename support).
22 ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.

24 This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
25 modify them.
Eric Andersen6d3c7e72003-08-22 21:15:07 +0000[diff] [blame]26 On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.

28 Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
29 probably say N here.

35 help
Glenn L McGrath0337c462002-12-06 22:40:54 +0000[diff] [blame]36 By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the
37 filename, this option removes that limitation.
38 It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
39 filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +0000[diff] [blame]45 bunzip2 is an compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
46 sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
47 is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
48 conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
49 performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
