unrar.

Unix, or Linux?

Summary     : A program to extract, test, and view RAR archives
Description :
The unRAR utility is a freeware program distributed with source code
and developed for extracting, testing, and viewing the contents of
archives created with the RAR archiver.
Distribution: openSUSE:Leap:15.4:NonFree
cer@Telcontar:~>


This is built, I understand, from the published sources. There is no 
equivalent "rar" that is free to use. However, for openSUSE, we can get 
"rar" from the packman external repository.



Notice the difference in the versions reported:


cer@Telcontar:~> unrar -v

Usage:     unrar <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...>
                <@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\>

   e             Extract files without archived paths
...
   y             Assume Yes on all queries
cer@Telcontar:~>




cer@Telcontar:~> rar -v

Trial version             Type 'rar -?' for help

Usage:     rar <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...>

   c             Add archive comment
   ch            Change archive parameters
...
cer@Telcontar:~>





The only problem with using "rar" in Linux is that it doesn't support 
Linux filesystem attributes and permissions :-(
