16 The main command is aunpack which extracts files from an archive. Did you
17 ever extract files from an archive, not checking whether the files were
18 located in a subdirectory or in the top directory of the archive, resulting
19 in files scattered all over the place? aunpack overcomes this problem by
20 first extracting to a new directory. If there was only a single file in the
21 archive, that file is moved to the original directory. aunpack also
22 prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake.
23 .
24 The other commands provided are apack (to create archives), als (to list
25 files in archives), and acat (to extract files to standard out). As atool
26 invokes external programs to handle the archives, not all commands may be
27 supported for a certain type of archives.
