7zr

File archiver with a high compression ratio. Similar to 7z except that it only supports 7z files. More information: https://manned.org/7zr.

• [a]rchive a file or directory:

7zr a path/to/archive.7z path/to/file_or_directory

• Encrypt an existing archive (including file names):

7zr a path/to/encrypted.7z -ppassword -mhe=on path/to/archive.7z

• E[x]tract an archive preserving the original directory structure:

7zr x path/to/archive.7z

• E[x]tract an archive to a specific directory:

7zr x path/to/archive.7z -opath/to/output

• E[x]tract an archive to stdout:

7zr x path/to/archive.7z -so

• [l]ist the contents of an archive:

7zr l path/to/archive.7z

• Set the level of compression (higher means more compression, but slower):

7zr a path/to/archive.7z -mx=0|1|3|5|7|9 path/to/file_or_directory
