UNRAR(1)                          RAR archiver                         UNRAR(1)

NAME
       unrar - extract files from rar archives

SYNOPSIS
       unrar  command  [-switch  ...] archive [file ...] [@listfiles ...] [path
       ...] [path_to_extract/]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the unrar command.
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux  distribution  be-
       cause the original program does not have a manual page.
       Commands and options described here are as of unrar 6.0.

USAGE
       archive
              Archive  file  name in RAR or other supported format.  If archive
              file uses RAR multiple volume format, specify only  first  volume
              file name as archive file name.

       file ...
              File  path  name  to extract.  You can specify more path names at
              one time.

       @listfiles ...
              If argument starts with "@", unrar uses  listfile  as  file  path
              list  file.   This  list  file includes file path list to extract
              from archive file.  You can use 2 or more list files at one time.
              File list uses one line for one file path.  And blank line is ig-
              nored.
              This file is used to extract many file path  names  in  one  time
              that your shell can't accept.

       path_to_extract
              If last argument is ended with "/", unrar uses path_to_extract as
              file extraction target path.

COMMANDS
       After  the  program name comes a command and then optional switches with
       dashes before them.  A summary of commands is  included  below.   For  a
