rar

The RAR archiver. Supports multi-volume archives that can be optionally self-extracting. More information: https://manned.org/rar.
  • Archive 1 or more files:
    rar a {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}} {{path/to/file3}}
  • Archive a directory:
    rar a {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/directory}}
  • Split the archive into parts of equal size (50M):
    rar a -v{{50M}} -R {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Password protect the resulting archive:
    rar a -p{{password}} {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Encrypt file data and headers with password:
    rar a -hp{{password}} {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  • Use a specific compression level (0-5):
    rar a -m{{compression_level}} {{path/to/archive_name.rar}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
