About unar
unar is a universal archive extractor. Archive files bundle one or more files together, often with compression, and extraction restores their contents to a usable form. The product’s name and description indicate a broad extraction role, but the available information does not enumerate supported archive formats, password handling, metadata preservation, or command options. Those capabilities should be checked for the archives a user needs to handle. Its documented purpose is to extract archives across formats, providing a focused utility for unpacking stored files rather than creating or managing archives generally. Its task is to recover files stored inside archive formats.
