This file contains some instructions on how to use the command line arguments.
Extraction
----------
1) Extract an archive to a specified directory:
file-roller --extract-to=/path/to/dir archive.tgz
create the destination folder without asking the user to confirm
file-roller --force --extract-to=/path/to/dir archive.tgz
2) Extract an archive letting the user choose the destination directory:
file-roller --extract archive.tgz
set the directory to show in the folder chooser dialog:
file-roller --default-dir=/path/to/show --extract archive.tgz
3) Extract an archive in its parent folder creating a subfolder if the archive
contains more than one top level object (that is avoiding the tar-bombing).
This is the same command used in the Nautilus context menu to extract
archives.
file-roller --extract-here archive.tgz
Use the --notify option to show a dialog that notifies the user that the
operation has completed successfully and allows to open the destination folder.
You can extract a series of archives with a single command.
Compression
-----------
1) Compress a series of files specifying the archive name:
file-roller --add-to=/path/to/archive.tgz file1 file2 ..
the archive is created if it doesn't exist.
2) Compress a series of files letting the user choose the archive name:
file-roller --add file1 file2 ..
set the directory to show in the folder chooser dialog:
file-roller --default-dir=/path/to/show --add file1 file2 ..
Use the --notify option to show a dialog that notifies the user that the
operation has completed successfully and allows to open the created archive.
