extract

Automatically recognizes and extracts various types of mime formats from compressed files. If it is installed, otherwise it says Failed to unpack: ‘[type]’. and you will need to install the appropriate software later

Dependencies

• C++ compiler: GNU GCC or Clang/LLVM
• CMake

Example on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake

Instalation

git clone https://github.com/terroo/extract
cd extract
cmake -B build .
cmake --build build/
sudo cmake --install build/

Usage

• Show the help:

  extract --help

  Or only: extract -h

• Show the manual:

  man extract

• Extract file:

  Example to tbz2

  extract file.tbz2

• Extract file in verbose mode:

  Example to lzma

  extract file.tbz2 --verbose

  Or only: extract file.tbz2 -v. The verbose needs to be the last command!

• Lists commands to compress and uncompress:

  extract --list

  Or only: extract -l

Notice

If the decompressor is not installed, there will be output: Failed to unpack: ‘[type]’. To resolve, install the appropriate software.
