About ouch
Ouch is a terminal tool for compressing and decompressing files. Compression reduces the storage or transfer size of data, while decompression restores it to a usable form. A command-line interface makes these operations available in scripts or text-based workflows. The supplied information does not specify supported archive formats, compression algorithms, options, or how it handles files that contain multiple entries. It also does not detail overwrite behavior or error reporting. Ouch’s documented role is to make compression and decompression available from the terminal, with exact format coverage and usage depending on capabilities not described in the available product information. Its main use covers both creating compressed output and opening it again.
