A perl script for managing file archives of various types
atool is a script for managing file archives of various types.
It includes aunpack (to extract archives), apack (to create archives),
als (to list files), acat (to extract files to the standard output),
etc.
atool relies on external programs to handle the archives.
It determines the archive types using file extensions whenever possible,
with a fallback on 'file'.
It includes support for tarballs, gzip, bzip, bzip2, lzop, lzma, pkzip, rar,
ace, arj, rpm, cpio, arc, 7z, alzip.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
